A few thing to say yet:
Thanks for realizing my stance and commenting on the work. I am glad to see it is getting read and thought over. Lets just say that life is a very personal issue for me.
It seems that the common concensus is that Embryo's cannot become people? That is odd because it is take from a woman who has been pregnant for up to a month to 2.5 months... Thats a pretty large gap. The idea for the embreo is that it can be inserted into a donor, who is willing to host the child. To me that seems very wrong and selfish. Forgive me for being blunt, but there are many kids who need adoption and would love a chance to live in a family willing to go thorugh so many pains to further itself. To me that would be more sencible than "farming children" I think that phrase sums up my feeling on this quite well.
Ontop of the farming of children, using the ones who are not failures in anyway for research is simply wrong. Like vyk said the choice should be the parents'. Well it isn't its the banks.
Also embryo's have a great shot at becoming a full fledged fetus. They can be implanted into donors, but I think the problem should stop before we have embryos lying around and waiting to die. The research isn't so bad and is feasable (though i am not for it) as the embryo's are doomed wrongly anywayse. That is what I do not like. I would like to see people have more of a respect for human life. It is not a resource that we should abuse. Weather it be in war, or in reasearchl it is just not right to take human life.
Grab a gun and shoot me in the chest... If i do not feel the pain, does that make it ok. Wen you KILL you take away my hopes, dreams, love, pain, hobbies, or anything else I might aquire. You take away my story. These people should not live a 15 day story. That is wrong. Because a person does not have an Identity to our prespective does not strip them of rights.
On the christan prespective, I can't really say weather or not there is a soul there or not. I know the bible speaks out against the subject of abortion, but to find exactly where would require the time i dont have right now. I will look at it though. I know the disrespect for life and demoralization is supposed to happen around the end times - and mabey that is why i fight so hard. I have two children, and I don't want it to end yet. I love life here. I know it is unavoidable and profisized, but I keep hope still.
Please don't kill needlessly. The innocent need not die, the deccadent need conversion... not death.

EDITED for Nikotin
Yes, that is different. The soilder took his story to that point. Is it fine that he did? The embryo however did not ever get a chance to even make this choice. We had written thier story for em. We should never take such liberties. Just look at the miracle that makes life in the first place... why take such an unknown event for granted?Excellent point Neel. If, say, you were a soldier in a war, and you had to kill another human being to survive, is that okay? Is that really any different than killing of an embryo to save yourself?
The attomic bomb was murder at its worst. Why it was dropped i donot wish to discuss in this thread. Obviously, you can't compare war, with people farming. Nice flow though as both do have such disregaurd for life. War is fighting for somthign you belive in. This research is setting up for slaughter to mabey fill a few years in your life.
EDIT2: Nikotin, you look like you like the music. Would you ever take that from someone? The chance to enjoy such a pleasure. Create embryos to be destroyed with out even hear such a great thing as music? Not being able to show another human the characteristics of classical versus baroque? In setting these embryos up, you tease by giving life and taking it instantly. I know we invetro one may have a chance - but look to adoption as a betteer answer than making three so one can live.
