Fetus Farming

Ok, I try not to be judgmental, well, most of the time anyway. I can understand someone wanting to be a mother. I can even understand going to great lengths and expense like IVF to have your own. But if you have to be pregnant to be a mother and the fetus is not even yours what is wrong with that picture? Why not just adopt? That child is not "yours" either.

President Bush wants to protect these embryos. He is all about protecting the unborn. Meanwhile, civilian deaths are up to 100 per day in Iraq. Over 2,500 of our troops have died in Iraq. What is President Bush doing to end the deaths in Lebanon and Israel? He wants to wait until Israel is done destroying Hezbollah. I'm not defending Hezbollah but what about the civilians that are in the way?

Why are unborn children worth protecting but children in Iraq are not? Why are embryos that would otherwise be discarded worth more than your grandmother getting treatment for Parkinson's Disease?

Here's a win win. Let the people who want to adopt an embryo adopt an Iraqi child who's parents have been killed because of the civil war. Then use the embryo to research how to help one of our soldiers who has been paralyzed fighting in Iraq.

That, my friends, is the circle of life.
