Stem cell research, if properly supported, could cure an amazing number of illnesses, and the only reason it isn't being pursued as it should is because of religious idiots saying "Well, an embryo has a SOUL". Does it matter that at the point of harvest, the embryo is an undifferentiated clump of cells, with no brain, no heart, no lungs, no capacity for emotion or thought? Not to them. They get to challenge it on religious grounds, and when you question them, they say "You can't question this. These are my religious beliefs." I have to say, fuck their religious beliefs. The dying, the paralyzed, and the suffering trump your personal delusional fantasy about how the world works. Fuck your beliefs, and fuck you, for trying to keep near miraculous cures out of the hands of people who desperately need them. If this is your view, you deserve scorn and ridicule in the public square. You should be ostracized by society, living your life as an outcast, for trying to deny the dying cures for their illnesses.

Yoou do them a great disservice calling the pope a retard. One of their terms-fur-bearing ijut-seems more appropriate. I work with retarded people everyday.

Oh wait, unless we take his views out of context we can't call him a retard. My bad. What about his views regarding the procuring of stem cells from other sources, i.e. discarded umbilical cords?

What the pope is really saying is "don't accept science without religious review". Hahaha, it’s not science unless it’s undergone critical review.

That's a pretty acceptable statement. You may disagree with it but it doesn't make him a retard.

Not approving either is better (or it would go to as absurd as all these anti-abortion and pro-death sentences people).
