Personally, I don't have a problem with some of the experimentation. We're not going to stop the creation of human embryo's that will eventually be destroyed, so I would think that using them in stem cell research that could cure illness would not be a bad thing. However, creation of an embryo specifically for this purpose, that I have a problem with.

In the article that Angie has sited.....I don't have a problem with people having pig heart valves, and some of the other things they are doing, BUT I do have a problem with them creating cross species creatures. Creating a mouse with a human cognitive brain for example would be totally wrong, if it is even possible. Not sure God would allow human cognition in a creature like that. I'm all for preventing alzheimers, but I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it. Why do we need to use mice to produce human sperm and eggs when we have billions of people walking the earth capable of doing that. This is just very dangerous territory.
