robman> I think most of the embryos being used for stem cell development are the by-product of invitro fertilization procedures, not abortions. What puzzles me is why there isn't much being said about invitro fertilization, since this produces lots of embryos that won't have a chance to survive. This is puzzling because a lot of the same groups that are against stem-cell research and abortion are against the 'morning after' pill. This pill prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus. Some critics of this pill believe this is equivalent to abortion, hence my curiousity about the lack of opposition to invitro fertilization which results in pretty much the same thing. Maybe they're cool with it as long as it results in a baby? That's my best guess, but I don't know the opposing arguments as well as I could.
