Halbert's Cubicle: An Ethical DilemmaI got to this guys blog in a roundabout way, from a Slate piece claiming
Gygax was a hack, to a
rebuttal by Shamus, then a link by shamus to
another rebuttal on Halbert's blog. A couple of posts down and I see
this little bomb dropped.
I really don't get people who won't work with stem cells. It seems so arbitrary. Why is a bunch of cells more sacrosanct than, say, Germans in WWII? It was ok to kill them because they were killing Jews and taking over countries. But it's not ok to research POTENTIAL humans because of some ambiguous morality scheme dictated by old men in the Vatican. Wrong.
Of course, I've been antagonizing this guy in the comments, mostly because I haven't had a good blogfight in a while. But he and I are probably quite similar. He's a gamer, has a Christian background and hates mustard.*
*Disclaimer: I actually have no idea if he hates mustard.
