“I have ethical issues with creating embryos specifically for destruction or research use”
And I’m ignorant? The only path for this research to take is creating human life and destroy it for experimentation or keep it alive for body parts or you could use the word “organ tissue” if that would make you feel better.
“but do not find the destruction of excess blastocysts in any way repugnant”
Here we go again with the dehumanizing of a stage in human development. Where in our history have we seen the first steps to committing atrocities was the dehumanizing of another. It is YOUR thoughts and excuses that are truly nightmarish.
Who do you want deciding the fate of these embryos. The President? Well he did, and you won, now fill yourself up with what will be the results.
I watched your former President Clinton interview with the “expert” medical doctor Sanjay Goupta. President Clinton said that we should not use the embryo’s for science if there is the slightest chance they could be “Fertilized” and result in the birth of a human being. The “expert” did not correct him by saying that an EMBRYO is fertilized. Gupta did not even blink. Your putting your faith in these kinds of people who don’t even know that the simplest science facts about human reproduction.
You only think that Obama is scientifically sophisticated because he agrees with you and that science should be unfettered from ethical questions. Another words “Just Do It”.
I think what I find most disturbing about you is your willingness to decide the fate of another human life yet attempt to explain you decision by dismissing what makes it “human”, which is what is the most valuable thing about it. You take the miracle of life and turn it into something that you think can be useful. You speak of human life as if it’s only merit is it’s usefulness. That is repugnant.
