China might have the right idea...or they are evil and disgusting

According to this article China is performing miracles for patients with ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. The surgeon injects the patient with cells taken from an aborted fetus to halt the deterioration process that ALS has on its victims.

...oh wait...back up a minute...aborted fetus you say?

Yes...I do say.

Stem cell research of this kind is against the law in Canada and the US, but it is completely acceptable in China. I guess it comes down to a question of morality. Is it okay to use the cells of unborn children to possibly save someone's life? This is not an easy question to answer...but think about it. In China there is a one child limit and even if we don't want to admit it or pretend it doesn't happen, abortions are happening. They will continue happening. Is it wrong to use the cells from discarded tissue to save human lives? Regardless of where it came from? If the research could help your child, friend, or lover what would you think then? What if it was you?
