I agree faith is personal, and I think that you wanting to apply it to your own life is great...but what does that have to do with stem cell research where tax dollars can go to helping others, and may one day actually end up helping you directly?
Quote from Doubter:

I'm already in that boat and the difference is between embryonic and other stem cells. In my case a major help has already been found and it is from adult cells which taken from the recipient yield no rejection. There are quite a few cures or helps already from adult stem cells but to my knowledge none from embryos.
The argument is just that, a argument to score political points and protect the holy grail of abortion. I also don't want to trade someone else's life for mine. Same could be said for a transplant.
I very rarely listen to Rush. Go bark up another tree, or at the moon.Quote from Dr. Zhivodka:
IMO....this is exactly how and why people like AAA and hapa think the way they do.
Consumers of Rush and the rest of the right-wing whack job media eventually begin to believe that this stuff is rational thought. Yet I could say the same for the left-wing kooks too.
People like Rush have over the years convinced their sycophants that the other side is not just wrong...but they are evil. It's not that the opposition's ideas can be debated and discussed...it's that the opposition wants nothing short of "Death to America," and that in fact they hate America and all it stands for.

So you are protecting the holy grail of anti abortion based on your personal faith.
As I suspected....
Thanks for the confirmation.

Nice spin, twist and distortion on your part. What's new?
Simply put, my personal faith would not allow me to trade the potential help for my condition for the life or another individual.
Your personal faith may allow you to make that trade without a problem and that is your business.
It has to do with who you put your faith in. If your faith is in self, which is a glaringly liberal condition, the trading of an unknown life to better your own is great.
Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
Fox addressed the controversy on Tuesday.
"I'm kind of lucky right now. It's ironic, given some of the things that have been said in the last couple of days, that my pills are working really well right now," he said.
University of Chicago neurologist Dr. Thomas Kelly says Limbaugh doesn't have his facts straight. Fox's disease has progressed where he no longer only gets tremors, which can be controlled with medication, but has more erratic movements which are caused directly by his medicine.
"Chaotic, maybe writhing, dance-like movements, or dyskinesia, the movements I've seen in Mr. Fox, are due to his medications," said Dr. Kelly.
Duckworth called Limbaugh's opinion ridiculous.

Do those medications also make him lie?
