Should stem cells be allowed for medical reasons? If yes, should they allow all types or should they limit the uses?

How does that relate to a loss of responsiblity?
He is saying there isn't a lost of responsibility.. that some religious conservatives assume that because there is a shift away from their viewpoint.
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

That is true, but my reason to believe there is a loss of responsibility is because of abortion.

I don't consider having an abortion as much of a loss of responsiblity as much as bringing an unwanted child, or a child you can't afford to raise into the world.

I see it as being a loss of responsibility. If you cannot fulfill the requirements of a parent you were not responsible.

To a religious person, it might seem to be a loss of responsibility.

The same proccess that gave us this knowledge? Is it possible that from our knowledge of medicine and preventing natural selection because of it that we are causing overpopulation on earth? Couldn't this add even more on our already stressed planet?

The very things that the people who are against stem cell research and abortion are against.
No no no. They're aganist giving public schools the authority to teach sexual procedure or conduct, as that is NOT the job of government run public schools, but rather the job of the Parents, not the school.
Human sexuality is inseparable from anthropology. It is not the job of the immoral private-run corporate media (sexuality as commodity) to teach sexual conduct as is the case for millions of latchkey kids of overworked wage-slave parents.
