Honestly, the bottom half of your own article makes note of almost everything I explained to you. Tada!
Sympathise with my feelings? You are mistaken. I do not think of it as murder and I am not asking you to spare my feelings. I am merely asking you to be more open-minded and place yourself in the shoes of those who feel differently than you do. That is not an extraordinary request; the basis of political understanding in and of itself is acknowledgment that 1) another side to the issue exists, and 2) placing yourself in their position to better understand where they are coming from is beneficial to both parties of the discussion.
So what more science do you want from me? http://www.citizenlink.org/CLBriefs/A000007086.cfm http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/95177.php http://www.lifeissues.org/cloningstemcell/adultstemsuccess.htm (a clearly pro-life website but its list is well-referenced to neutral parties so I consider it legit) http://www.21stcenturysciencetech.com/articles/winter01/stem_cell.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adult_stem_cell
I could go on about how researchers are finding ways to make adult stem cells just as flexible as embryonic stem cells and how embryonic stem cells are relatively less controllable than adult stem cells, but I'm hoping by now you've understood these things. Anything else, or are you just copping out because you're unwilling to listen to anything except for what you want to hear? To be frank, that's what it seems like.
