I may be admitting my ignorance and the fact that I am not as well read as I would like; however, I don’t understand the uproar, in general, and the hostile approach Mr. Neumayr takes in his August 12th article titled “New Stem Cell Lies.”
Is stem cell research completed on embryos that have been aborted specifically for research purposes? Are the embryos extracted from healthy mothers wishing to deliver healthy children? Or, are the embryos taken in some other form of immoral trickery?
