Its always easier to take the moral high road when you are not the one in need of such treatment. When you are a healthy adult male, its always easier to take up a pro-life stance. Not that I don't understand where they're coming from, but in my heart I find no acceptance for this restrictive ideology.
I think its great that the medical science is finally reaching a point where practical results are being seen from such procedures. Christopher Reeve would be so proud.
As for the controversy of using embryonic cells, the moral correctness of this issue hinges on the question of whether human embryos can be considered living human beings, deserving of the same rights as the rest of us. Are we really in a position to decide whether that's the case? Should this assumption allow us to, in effect, exchange the lives of developed human beings, with wisdom, families, and beliefs, for the lives of undeveloped emryos, which neither have these things, nor the things that make us human? But thats a discussion for another forum, I think...
