Stem Cell Research

Over at the Drudge Report, it is being reported that Bill Frist will support Stem Cell Research. I have always found some discrepancies in the way the Church's view was presented on this matter, so I will present it the way I see it. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

It is often said on FoxNews, CNN, etc that the Church opposes Stem Cell Research. This is an utter lie. The Church opposes Embryonic Stem Cell Research, because destroying one human being for the benefit of another is not moral and a grave evil. Just like you can't take a heart from a living person to save another, so you can't destroy a little baby just to take its stem cells and give to someone else.

The Church, as far as I know, has no issue with Adult Stem Research, Animal Research, Umbilical Cord, or the like because no grave moral evil is being done. A human life is not being destroyed, in these cases, to save another. These cases have all proved to work, only one case which I have mentioned has yielded no fruit, and that is Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Not one success has yet to be reported.

Of course, Bush will be blamed for this, because he did not allow proper federal funding. However, with the funding provided, with other countries running tests, with private companies running tests, should not at least one success story have been found? There is no future with Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Not only is it immoral, but it has no fruits.

What is moral, has proven to work. So why not focus in on this? Why be set on the immoral?

Now, I don't know what Bush allows for in his funding, and the like. I don't know this whole topic that well. If everyone's issue is that Bush doesn't fund Stem Cell Research in adults or animals, then maybe they do have an issue. If their issue is he won't fund Stem Cell Research on Babies, then they have no issue. Just like the President can not fund the taking of a heart from one live patient to another, he can not fund this.

Off the Morality and into Politics, I think another question which deserves asked is, does the Federal Government have any business even funding this in the first place? Moral or not? Stem Cell Research is certainly no where to be found in the Constitution. We all know that what the Constitution does not mention is a matter left to the States. For example, the Education of Children is not mentioned ONCE in the Constitution. Education is thus a reserve red power to the States, so why is there a Department of Education in the Federal Government? The Constitution set out very clearly what the role of the Federal Government is, and what powers it has. Everything else is reserved to the States. This principle has been ignored since at least Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Federal Government is always seeking power in places it simply doesn't have any. So, my question is, does the Federal Government have the right or the power to spend Tax Money on any form of Stem Cell Research? Maybe is does, maybe it doesn't, but without all the ethical and moral considerations, I would say no. In fact, I would have to say that our Federal Government itself is unconstitutional. Everyone says they do not trust the Government, especially Democrats (well Republicans equally too), so why on earth would anyone want the Federal Government to be involved in every part of their life? These are issues which will not be answered in my lifetime, but there is a Constitutional Crisis in this country, and it results from the fact that people fear the government but can't seem to get enough of it, all at the same time...

Just my two cents on the issue. In conclusion, not only is Embryonic Stem Cell Research Immoral, I don't believe the Federal Government has the authority to fund such research. This is not supposed to be a Socialistic Society where the Government has its hand in everything. We were not founded to be such, but we are slowly be transformed into one by the likes of Kennedy, Clinton, the Air Line Industries, etc. If this is what we want, then the Constitution needs to be amended or discarded.

I am open to criticism on this, I have mixed feelings at times about some of the things I said about the Constitution, but this is what I feel tonight so this is what I said LOL. Regardless, Embryonic Stem Cell Research is immoral and should not be funded by the Federal Government, by any Government, and should not be done. It is also going no where, and is useless murdering of little babies just because the Pro-Abortion lobby wants to see it done to help legitimize abortion.
