Jim, stem cell research is a non-issue to you because you do not believe in God. You seriously cannot compare cancer cells to embryos. I also empathize with your history with skin cancer and wish you the best. I respect your views on being a person who does not believe in God but you cannot remove my beliefs on issues either. This subject is not black and white we are a country that believes in relegious tolerance. I cannot and will not try to change your opinion on what you do or do not believe in. I understand your side of the issue, I am always looking at research conducted on stem cells in the news and on the internet. I do not wish to argue with you on the subject but try to put yourself in the mindset of an individual who does believe in some facet of relegion. This issue will be maintained as controversial but I do believe there is a middle ground.
