SB5 Defeated

Delaware Representatives have defeated SB5. As a sidebar, I wish that when the issue was covered, reporters would be more precise on what is being opposed and instead of stating stem cell research generically, state if they are describing adult or embryonic stem cells. For instance, I recently saw a poll on CNN.com which was stated along the lines of "Do you believe stem cell research is immoral?" Well, it depends. Opponents of embyronic stem cell research are not cold hearted individuals who are calloused to those suffering from "diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, sickle cell disease, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injuries, osteoporosis, and multiple sclerosis" and are not opposed to all stem cell research that would seek to alleviate these terrible afflictions.. I simply feel that the destruction of life at its earliest and most vulnerable form should not be permitted, especially when there are attractive research opportunities with adult stem cells and emerging discoveries of procedures that would not destroy human embryos. We would never permit the harvesting of organs from adults even if it would serve the "greater good." Why should we allow this?
