Free for life..If you go back a couple pages I also posted some offcial Jewsh statements on embriotic stem cell researchFree4Life11 said:Is that really true? I'm interested to learn more about it.
I am in an evangelical denomination and I am really upset I voted for Bush. It's just been one thing after the other with him. I am disappointed that he vetoed this.

In the 2 movements which make up the vast majority of Jews yes. IN Orthodoxy it would be on a case to case basis and would depend on the degree of mental and emotonal trauma it would cause the women.. Orthodoy does sometimes recognize emotional or mental trauma as being detrimental to the life of the mother.Saxsoon said:Jenny, what is the Jewish stance on rape victims, just curious. I do agree with the stance if the mother is in danger.
Well that depends...With you POV you could prevent Jews(or others) from getting abortions or using stem cells...My beliefs cannot force you into having an abortion,nor can they force you to use stem cells for research..my4kids said:that trump mine becasue you want Your religious beliefs as law, even though I'm not your religion (a religion that I very much respect by the way - even though I don't agree with it)so then mine trump yours and the yours trump mine.and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on and so on...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
I wanted to watch that. I forgotmy4kids said:no really, I'm going to bed now......I'm exaused from laughing at tonights south park episode.
AllyandJack said:I'm all for stem cell research. But, I think it should be privately funded or funded by the state where the research will take place. He didn't make stem cell research illegal (yet). He just said that the taxpayers shouldn't fund it with federal tax dollars. Maybe he had a different motive behind it (religion, no doubt), but I agree with the basic outcome, even if I don't agree with his reasoning and his motives.

cgcruz said:If there is a valid reason to be against stem cell reason, I would like to know.
Exactly. Nobody should be forced to do either. That's why I'm not pro-abortion, but pro-choice.JennyMominRI said:My beliefs cannot force you into having an abortion,nor can they force you to use stem cells for research..

It really depends on the RESEARCH that the scientist is doing. The ones who are doing research on embryonic cells want the MONEY to go to their projects.Teejay32 said:a guy stating "it's not a contest" between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells...the scientific community wants both kinds of research, believing that both could be beneficial. Embryonic stem cells can mature into any type of cell, that's why they are so important, although whether they will turn into the kind of cell we want them to, at the time and location we want them, is yet to be determined. That's my understanding of it.
Would Bush have a different opinion if someone in his immediate family could benefit from stem cell research?LisaB said:Do you really think Nancy Reagan or even Ronald Reagan would have supported stem cell research with embryo's if Ronnie didn't have alziemers
