Don’t fight nature’s way

The first-ever human trial of embryonic stem cell research has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. A biotechnology company in Menlo Park, Calif., plans to start the first-ever treatment on up to 10 patients suffering from spinal cord injuries. The treatment will consist of a one-time injection of “glial” cells that the company thinks will restore nerve cells.

I find this to be a barbaric act. Abortion is one thing, but to take a human life and turn it into a science project is completely inhumane. Embryonic stem cell research should be banned forever.

If someone has a disease it was meant to be. People are born every day and people die every day, and that’s just the way life works.

We need to quit fighting nature. Americans have such anxiety over what “could happen.” We need to quit worrying about everything and just live life instead of trying to fight death. Instead of worrying about the dying start enjoying the lives we are fortunate enough to have as Americans.
