Baby bank Stem cell bank opens in UK

God bless the brave Pro-Life Party and the other brave souls in England who speak out against this gross evil. Talk about a prophetic voice in the wilderness!

I get a sick feeling in the stomach that this stem cell bank represents the future of the United States. Most of the American public, IMO, simply has no ability to resist the siren song of "miracle cures" for Grandma's Alzheimers, or a child's MS.

Most of us simply do not have the worldview anymore to process suffering, or how it could have either meaning or dignity, or good could come out of it. So we throw the human dignity of the unborn aside in the hope of a miracle cure for the longtime relative or young child.

Of course that's what we were told about fetal tissue transplants in the early '90s, and that failure has been conveniently forgotten.

It's more or less prayer and George Bush that holds back the tide on this stuff in the US right now, I'm afraid. The medical establishment is so militantly for stem-cell research that the medical research establishment huffed and puffed about "unprofessionalism" when Bush had the gall to appoint an NIH head who opposed this stuff. That they themselves were politicizing a moral question escaped their parochially secular worldview.

The picket fence between the unborn and full Federal support for this charging political-medical rhinoceros is very, very frail. Pray, pray, pray.
