Such research needs to be done to better the lives of normal people and the church with it's old book of 1184 mistakes should not dictate to the rest of us what people living in the 21st century can and cannot do.
Agreed. The church rears its ugly head in nearly every country in the world influencing people to practice doctrines that often provide little benefits to parishioners.
Future religions must change or lose membership as advances in science and technology alter our view of life. By mid-century, some people could be sporting non-biological body’s immune to disease and death, which would remove one of religion’s most treasured benefits, helping people accept death as natural and bridging them into an ‘afterlife’.
Stem cell research should be allowed to advance without impediments of any kind.
