Creating life, only to destroy it
Ian Carmichael / 7th November 2006
The passing through the Senate last night of the Bill allowing research on cloned human embryos should not be a surprise, albeit that the vote (34-32) was very close. (Story can be found here.)
The argument that we should not engage in acts which cause the creation of human life, only to destroy those lives within a few weeks, seems to me one which, as a society, we foolishly rejected when we permitted abortion on demand.
