RE: How do the So-called Prol-Lifers Feel About Teratomas?

In the minds of fundies, a fetus is alive when the first cell splits. I am not sure that 2 cells have a soul yet so they don't care about a soul.
Their creed is "protect the fetus at all cost" but as soon as that fetus comes out of the womb, you better make sure it is born to rich parents other wise it is just another welfare baby.
I can't get my head around how precious life is inside the womb but lives of black man running away from a cop, holding up his hands in front of a cop, selling single cigarettes...etc well, they just had it coming
WTF?????

This is certainly a bugger in the argument against stem cell research. If an embryo is alive, how can you say that one of these things is not?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

We live in a fallen creation. Sometimes the only choice is between bad and worse.

So because Adam and Eve were created with the inability to understand the difference between good and evil (and therefor not able to understand that disobeying God was wrong) and fucked up by eating fruit from a magic tree after being beguiled by a talking snake (one of God's creations), their descendants are subject to having body parts grow inside their brain?
Please explain. I never heard that one in a church before.

Anyone else smell herring?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What I mean is that people often face circumstances in which there really are no good options. Like the street car dilemma where you must choose between allowing a car load of passengers to die if you don’t pull a switch would kill a rail worker.
How has this anything to do with teratomas?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
