total nonsense, there is no relation between holocaust victims and embryo's. The Jews were being wiped out because of the Nazi's outrageous agenda. Embryonic stem cell research benefits humanity for the future and hurts no one.

This makes me feel sad and sad. I don't understand the speaker's point of view at all.

Why should a religion stand in the way of the evolution of mankind? What about the embryos you don't turn into life every month?

Firstly, what does your religion have to do with the topic, secondly, my ears must be playing up, as it sounded like you compared stem cell research with the holocaust, disgraceful.

This makes me feel glad, happy, humbled, glad, happy and humbled.

Well done Niamh1 You have articulated what many, many people have never had the courage to say! When will man learn NOT to play God!

Oh dear, Ms Maloney - time to invoke Godwin's Law I think.

This makes me feel glad, happy, humbled, glad, happy and humbled. It reinforced what I already believed.

It reinforced what I already believed.

Well done for speaking the truth.

It reinforced what I already believed.

More importantly it is cheering to see that younger women can think for themselves, and express themselves on the matter, because Niamh's generaation are the future. Another poster witters on about Godwins Law. Sorry - but Godwin's Law applies to long rambling arguments, where someone (always spouting left wing arguments and losing) ends up calling the other a fascist. Do Pastor Niemoller or George Orwell fall foul of Godwin's Law? Then neither does Niamh.

This makes me feel glad and glad.

I'm delighted and exhilirated to see a young person who is able to voice her opinion so naturally and be ready to take the abuse and criticism which may come as a result. Well done Niamh for speaking out for the voiceless whom our society is so ready to use for their own ends without recognising the value of each individual, unique life - a life that will never be repeated. Until we as a civilised society come to accept that no life is so small that it has no value we shall not be able to stop the mindless violence that was seen in the recent riots across England. As a society we too are guilty of usingour strength against the weakest and most vulnerable without even giving a thought to the fact that every human now alive was once an embryo just like those we are throwing away or experimenting upon.

Well done Ms Moloney: you have that refreshing ability - all too rare in our society - to see the BIG PICTURE. Our culture leads us to think along increasingly narrow lines. Anyone - if they stop and take a step back - must surely see that, as 'Lochain' says, 'every human now alive was once an embryo'. To then fragment and compartmentalise that simple fact, is to narrow one's view - dangerously.

I can not understand how people can think that an embrion is not human, I wonder if from a human embrion will came an elephant or a gorilla? the human life is there, nowdays all is about rights, why society don't respect life from the very beginning? why the little unborn children do not have rights?????????????????

what do the holocaust and jews have to do with anything?? im confused.

'There is no difference between an embryo and my next next door neighbour' - Agree. I (as get) have not heard a coherent answers saying why they shouldn't, if an embryo is a human it should have the same rights as all other humans.

I quite frankly find it offensive the argument she puts forward. Allow me to make something very very clear. Any embryo used could NEVER grow into a person. These embryos, at least in any research done in the UK, are those which were isolated for IVF treatment but failed to develop properly, they are damaged and broken. If they were to arise inside a woman normally, they would result in a miscarriage, there is absolutely no chance of them ever being born.

They couldn't complete development and if they did they would be born with horrific abnormalities and would die within the first year of life. To say that embryonic stem cell research is destroying life, or summoning up ideas of poor unborn children denied their chance by heartless scientists is absurd. To compare scientists, people who devot their lives to improving peoples lives through research, to Nazi's is one of the most insulting things I've ever heard.

I do agree.

Finally someone has the courage to speak the truth on this situation. life is there from the moment of conception. and once everyone realises this fact then embryos will be treated with the respect that every human being deserves.Well done Niamh.

The holocaust involved a dictator who wanted a perfect generation. That is as close to embryonic stem cell research as you will get. There are a small minority of people who want to genetically engineer their children, to make them have specific traits as Hitler did with his blonde haired blue eyed people. I don't agree with that. However the majority of research goes into stopping the suffering of man kind. The holocaust involved suffering. Embryonic stem cell research STOPS suffering. If a 'spiritual being' appeared in a Catholic's household, they may ask their priest to come & make the being go away, right? There are many cases of this. Some believe that embryo's are a spiritual being. If you don't agree with this, check some of the other videos on this site which suggest that an embryo is a spiritual being not a human being. If this is what the catholic church believes then what is the difference between a ghost and an embryo? I think the bible is made of contradictions that it's believers cannot quite understand.
