BetsyJust for debate and something to think about...
Imagine yourself or a loved one is facing a life-threatening illness, and there's a chance you or your loved could live a full life through the use of stem cells. Even if the embryonic tissue had to be created specifically for your illness, are you saying that "potential" viability of this 5 day old group of cells would keep you from exploring the option of saving your own life or the life of your child or loved one? Please keep in mind, that while potential viability of this embryonic tissue is a factor, without the right enviroment, it remains just a bunch of cells.
