I often wonder who is in the most pain, the people with an illness or those that know them?
I want a cure for my illness but not at the expense of human life, this is murder for imagined profits.
Stemcell vote 'morally damaged society'

The FEDERAL Government had morally damaged Australian society by voting to overturn the ban on therapeutic cloning, a national association of doctors and scientists said today.
Australians for Ethical Stem Cell Research (AESCR) criticised MPs who spoke of the anguish of watching loved ones suffer from untreatable diseases as they debated the stemcell issue.
"Like superstitious peasants they believed the witchdoctors who held out hope of miracle cures from cloning,'' said AESCR national director Dr David van Gend.
"The credulity of these MPs was touching and pitiful - any disease suffered by any relative became reason enough for them to declare they 'would not stand in the way of a cure'.
"The moral damage to society has now been done by approving a laboratory subclass of human young, created only for exploitation.''
