it's like those f**kin animal rights activists protesting against testing drugs on animals. ok, cosmetics shouldn't be tested on animals. but medicine? of course it should. a man's life is worth more than a monkey's. i bet if one of those protestors had cancer and the only way to treat him would be to strangle 1000 puppies he'd do it in a flash.

"i bet if one of those protestors had cancer and the only way to treat him would be to strangle 1000 puppies he'd do it in a flash." - that is the funniest thing I have had the pleasure to quote back to someone!

yeah, it's funny but i bet it's also true!
and about mixing human and animal genes - what's the big deal? really, wtf? who is it hurting? people that object to this kind of research have too much imagination, too little common sense and no real education on the matter. they probably think mixing human and animal genes will result in an army of real life ninja turtles and shark-people. get a grip folks. it's done in a petri dash, in a lab. after anything useful is extracted it's destroyed. even if it wasn't you can hardly call anything created in that method a living being. it's just cells mixed with other cells swimming in a little bowl.
just because the media decides to profit from it, creating all kinds of controversy (which is in no small amount fueled by Hollywood - the ninja turtle reference) doesn't necessarily make it true. when is the last time somebody protested against frogs being used as lab animals? or mice, or rats? but god forbid somebody kills a monkey while doing research trying to find the cure for cancer. i know what i'm talking about. nothing is worth more than a human life. my mom had cancer three times. that's THREE (3) TIMES! thank god, she won the battle every time. but i'm sure she wouldn't have if somebody sometime in the past didn't butcher a dolphin to find out what exactly it takes to destroy cancer cells.
so yeah. merge animal and human dna. hell, wipeout an entire ZOO if you have to. if it means it will save your son's or your mom's or a complete stranger's life - isn't it worth it?

I suppose the argument is *potential* though. Same argument used by the anti-abortion clan. Say the embryo wasn't destroyed; what might it have achieved. OK, not much if it has been spliced with Michelangelo - the pizza loving Ninja Turtle, not the Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet, engineer yadda-yadda-yadda.
Kudos to your mum. Thrice! Wow - she is a real fighter.
I'm glad I'm not a Buddhist - I'm never getting of this wheel of Samsara at this rate! Yep. Disregard for life (however pathetic) + ignorance toward my disregard for life = Eternal Suffering. Ho-Hum.

"Say the embryo wasn't destroyed; what might it have achieved" - it wouldn't exist in the first place if it wasn't created for the sole purpose if being used in research and then destroyed. it is supposed to achieve nothing. an embryo like the one we are discussing could never occur in nature, it is totally artificial. what divine rights does it have then? none. that's what i'd say.
