Our scientists are trying damn hard to pursue embryonic stem cell research without offending the bible thumpers. To date there are two ways of making ES cells without destroying the embryo - here's the latest - but both seem so insanely contrived that it is any wonder religious opponents find them acceptable.
At the end of the day, if you are good Catholic why would you support any kind of molecular tinkering with the human body? Certianly God created us with imperfections, a Christian will point out, but these are only moral and spiritual. Physically, we are perfect, the image of God. So then, when does "improving" the human condition through medical genetics become morally offensive by mucking around with God's beautiful and intelligent design?
