Embryonic Stem Cell Research-- Human Experimentation

"Mengele saw great potential in human experimentation too."

"On the other hand, if the thought of medical experimentation on human beings is abhorrent, and I hope it still is, then I suggest that the debate over embryonic stem cell research should focus not on the possibility of discovering as yet unrealized cures, but on the heart of the issue - whether embryos are human and deserve to be protected as such, or are just so much tissue to be used and discarded at our whim."

Thus wrote Eric Crist in the April 9 Ann Arbor News. It's a great "Other Voices" essay. Read the entire essay here.
