Straight Talk on Embryonic Stem Cell Research
Re: Stem-cell dispute not 'reason versus ignorance,' theologian says
The issue is not about religion vs. science, it is about ethical science.
The Catholic Church, President George W. Bush. and others are not against stem cell research, they are against embryonic stem cell research. Life must not be created only to be destroyed so as to perserve the lives of others. The (good) end does not justify the (evil) means.
Dr. Mengele's diabolical experiments and the Tuskegee Syphilis Study no doubt resulted in the furthering of scientific knowledge, but who would justify the means?

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
