All I can say is that I hope stem cell research will come to fruition soon enough for people to replace their poorly functioning limbs, organs, glands and similar.
Damn it, that's one of the main reasons why we're here on this forum to figure out how to tackle this problem

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
