Lies and More Lies from Stowers Institute President

William B. Neaves, president and CEO of the Kansas City, Mo., Stowers Institute for Medical Research, said he does not believe a blastocyst is yet a human being. Therefore, he finds embryonic stem-cell research morally acceptable.

Here we have, in a 'nut' shell so to speak, the relativistic attitude of so many, whether it refers to faith or science, on what begets "truth" - and for far too many, truth is derived from one's own mind, what one purports to "believe".

For those who are unaware,

The Stowers Institute is the largest financial backer of the pro-embryonic stem-cell research group Missouri Coalition for Lifesaving Cures, having given $15.4 million of the $16 million raised to date, based on the latest campaign financing reports.

So, of course, this group is looking to gain financially from any future patents that can be obtained from killing human life for research. Although the claim is made that "the people" would benefit from future "cures" (cures which have yet to be realized and which are only the result of wild imaginations), no treatments would likely ever be available to those who need treatment the most - the poor. "The people" who really matter to this group no doubt, are those with money.

Neaves went on to say:

"The real issue for us is to come to our own conclusion about the moral status of blastocysts."

That's right...make up the truth yourself. Reach your own conclusions, write your own biology book...Unbelieveable!

"I personally believe a blastocyst is not yet the equivalent of a baby or a child with diabetes or a teenager with a spinal cord injury or an adult with Parkinson’s. I do not believe a blastocyst represents a human person."

Outstanding! Now I must admit that I personally believe that Neaves and Danforth and the other pseudo-scientists and pro-death politicians do not represent human persons...Therefore, these so-called men are non-human entities because this truth has been validated by my beliefs! I support an amendment which allows me free and unfettered access to conduct experimental research on these "creatures" at the taxpayers' expense...What utter idiocy.

The creature continues:

"However, I respectfully disagree with the concept that other people of faith who consider a blastocyst to be the same as a child or adult have the right to impose by law that belief on me.

Yet, this clown has no problem imposing laws and taxes on others merely because of his beliefs. This is the epitome of arrogance!

Those who oppose embryonic stem-cell research should refuse to have anything to do with it, he said.

Spoken like a true Nazi or a radical Mohammedan. Others opposed to such immoral laws would have to "submit" to taxation and the law because of his "beliefs"...And some are too ignorant or arrogant to see the irony. Pro-slavery and Pro-death advocates can take comfort that the spirit of Hitler is alive and well in Missouri!
