Because that's what you do? Why don't you rep him with "you're dumb"? That's what you do, right? And he's dumb. So tell him that! It'll make you feel good when it's done. You'll make your mark on the world, telling people that they're unintelligent. I'm sure then that they'll strive harder to achieve your level of perceptitude.
Yeah, okay. You're right Rashakil, that's what I do. That's what my life's purpose is. It makes me feel good to tell people they're stupid. Thanks for clarifying.
hmm.. I don't know how the embryo wouldn't be harmed. Its embryonic cells are harvested, which is completely detrimental to its life.
Oh, then I was wrong lol.
Also, the embryo is usually created in a lab, and Christians are upset b/c scientists are basically creating life, harvesting a few cells, and then destroying the embryo. Some people argue that the embryo is not yet 'alive' at the time the cells are harvested, but most people believe that the second it becomes a zygote, it is considered a living human being.
Well I tend to lean towards that idea too.
The zygote is considered a living organism, it is the beginning of a human life. A human could not develop without this stage. I'm aggressively against abortion unless it is under the right circumstances [like rape]. And I didn't develop this kind of mindset while being a Christian... I've just always felt like it was wrong.
Embryonic stem cell research is a different story though, and I think I should start reading some information on it. Although I'm already starting to not like it, I'm kind of in between as of now.
Ahh... so the biggest problem is, people tend to think of it as abortion?
I personally think that embryonic stem cell research is a good idea if it can save lives... but only if it doesn't involve destroying other lives at the same time.
I thought I heard something about the introduction of new experiments that allows the embryo to not be harmed through the process... I don't know if that's true though.
