Stem cells extracted from cloned primate embryos.

In the news, Nature News has an incredible story about cloning monkeys.

Embryonic stem cell research has been going on for about 25 years or longer. Stem cell research itself has been going on for over 40 years.

Actually, it would be nice to see some of the endangered species show nicely renewing populations because of cloning. If anyone ever gets round to it. Let's keep out fingers crossed.

I know how some religious people feel about this type of science but I feel strongly that we were all given the ability to learn and absolutely magnificent technology therefore we should use both to the best of our abilities.

I also truly believe that when talking about sin it is a sin to waste knowledge and ability sitting around saying things like, We can't do this, God wouldn't like it.

I like to think that God wants us all to use what gifts we were each given including and even especially scientists because what most of them do is of such tremendous value to all of us as well as future generations.

So please, before you write me nasty emails or leave me rude comments about how I am going to hell for even suggesting that embryonic stem cell research might help save soon to be extinct species, do me as well as yourself a favor and do the following:

Read, think, learn. Read, think, learn. Read, think, learn. Read, think, learn.

If this fails to enlighten, then please by all means start again.
