The flawed reasoning, commonly found in most media commentary on human embryonic stem-cell research, was not lost on the makers of South Park. I love how brutal South Park are in exposing PC rubbish; see the YouTube clips below.

A common objection to belief in the God of the Bible is that a good, kind, and loving deity would never command the wholesale slaughter of nations. In the tradition of his popular Is God a Moral Monster?, Paul Copan teams up with Matthew Flannagan to tackle some of the most confusing and uncomfortable passages of Scripture. Together they help the Christian and nonbeliever alike understand the biblical, theological, philosophical, and ethical implications of Old Testament warfare passages.
I watched that episode when it was on (no I am NOT a regular South Park viewer!) and it was an excellent illustration of the moral issues.
What I like about South Park is that they go out of their way to offend everyone indiscriminately. So although a lot of what they say is offensive to Christians, sometimes they come out with some real gems that you can actually agree with.
I’ve probably only watched 3-4 episodes ever though, and found 2 illustrated points I generally agreed with. So I don’t know if that is very representative!
This is great information; we need more people in this arena on Stem Cells. There is a new product out for everyone today; Stem Cells are here for you now. I would like to introduce you to the World’s First Stem Cell Enhancer. It is proven by Science and Medical Teams in a Peer Review study.

Please take the tour and down load the study I will send you more educational information on this amazing new product. Adult stem Cells can become any organ, tissue, or muscle in the body. After taking 1 gram of StemEnhance your body releases 3 to 4 million adult stem cells, into the blood stream. This is the body’s natural way to renew, refresh, and rejuvenate itself. We are unleashing a whole new system of the body that has always been there. This is an all natural botanical extract for everyone.

I wonder how many years and millions of dollars later will the supporters of this have to burn through before they’ll drop the embryonic stem cells and go with the adult ones.
