I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

The U.S. Roman Catholic Bishops oppose the research as "immoral, illegal, and unnecessary." They say life is sacred from the moment of conception.
The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and the Southern Baptist Convention are also opposed, for the same reason. "Human embryos," says the SBC, "are the tiniest of human beings."
On the other side, the Presbyterian Church USA approves the research when the goals are "compelling and unreachable by other means."
Orthodox UnionThis week, the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations agreed, saying, "an isolated fertilized egg does not enjoy the full status of personhood."
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism also approves, saying what would be "immoral and unethical" is cutting off funds for promising medical research."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
Ben Kenobi: "That means I'm doing something right. "

The Catholic Church opposes a particular method of arriving at stem cells. The vast majority of stem cell research has nothing to do with that particular method.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
