Let's Treat the Terminally Ill like Lab Rats Using Embryonic Stem Cells

As if the use of embryonic stem cells were not immoral enough, a cloning pioneer suggest that 'willing' terminally ill patients should be permitted to 'volunteer' for experimental embyonic stem cell research and testing. He and others seem to suggest that society should continue to kill the young in order to see what happens to the dying, so that "scientists" might find some treatments whoich could be used to justify their moral depravities.
(CNSNews.com) - Human embryonic stem cells should be used on willing terminally ill patients even if such treatments have yet to be proven safe in animal laboratory experiments, in the view of cloning pioneer Ian Wilmut.

"They should be allowed to use treatments which have not been properly tested because in their case, the benefits may outweigh the risk," he told The Scotsman newspaper.

"If we wait until things are totally tested and analyzed in animals, it will deny some people that treatment," said Wilmut, who led the team that in 1996 created the world's first cloned mammal, Dolly the sheep.
