Michael J. Fox is a cannibal

Not really sure where this thread belongs. I guess either here or in Great Debates. Please move if it is in the wrong place.

This the best article I have ever read on the stem cell issue. Jill Stanek really nails Fox. She shows how he is willing to kill innocent human life to possibly save his. In other words, he sees some human life as more valuable. Sound like anyone else?

PD is tragic, particularly in Fox’s case, because it rarely afflicts persons under 60 years old.

Yet everyone faces tragedy at one time or another, in one form or another. A person’s moral fiber is revealed in tragedy.

So we learned through Fox’s affliction that he has either extremely poor judgment or a diabolical character flaw. He supports human embryonic stem-cell experimentation, thus contending that some humans are subhuman and expendable for others’ personal gain.

We know there is nothing new under the sun. So Fox’s character flaw is not new, just a variation of the worst of human behavior throughout history.

Slaveholders thought those whose lives and deaths they controlled were “property,” as the U.S. Supreme Court determined in the 1857 Dred Scott decision. Hitler thought Jews were evolutionary mistakes. The Islamic government of Sudan currently has it in for black Christians.

Different day, different holocaust.

The future Fox wants to create for his three daughters looks bleak. No longer will only hens lay eggs for human consumption if Fox has his way. His daughters will be exploited for their eggs, too, because the only source of these pre-embryos is women. It is foolish to think technology will be sated by the availability of today’s orphaned embryos, as is now the spin.

And in an altered past, Fox would have allowed the dissection of his days-old embryonic children so he could surgically ingest them in an effort to cure his own ailments – high tech cannibalism.

It’s funny that Fox calls himself a vegetarian.

Why can’t people see this issue for the holocaust that it is? It is even worse than the people who supported killing people in Iraq because it might make us safer.

Where is the evidence that Michael J. Fox eats human beings?

Because they aren’t idiots like you? Stem cells used for research wouldn’t have been used for anything else. That’s a big part of the point.

Seriously, this is one issue where I try and try and try and I just can’t see the other side. Biological waste used for good? Let’s get moving.

Dude, seriously… exactly how defective are you?

[Jimmy_Chitwood]

Define “holocaust,” please.

I, for one, am so looking forward to 8 days from now.

It looks like you misspelled that bit, let me fix it for you…Jill Stanek spouts off at the mouth about something she doesn’t really understand.

You’ll all be sorry you didn’t listen to ted when your daughters are conscripted to work in the embryo farms. When the Cylons come we’ll have already been conquered, by ourselves.

Sure, it’s a holocaust, if you consider a blastocyst (which consists of a few dozen cells, which has no brain, no nervous system, no ability to think or suffer or feel pain, etc.) to have *exactly the same * moral status as a full-grown human being. However, I don’t see how anyone can rationally defend the idea that the blastocyst has this status. Given your OP, arguing is clearly not your strong point, so I don’t expect you to convince me. You got any arguments to the contrary? If so, bring them. If not, STFU.

[Carl_Corey]

Wow. So having just one pitting backfire on you wasn’t enough, was it?

Give them to people who are willing to adopt them. Just because their parents are willing to throw them aways does not mean they should be murdered.

These children are human life and you are willing to kill them.

Ahhhhh. *That * defective. Good to know.

Give them to people who are willing to adopt them.

And they’d do, what? Keep them in petri dishes and feed them sugar?

So you think a baby is less moral status than a full grown adult because its brain is less devolped?

Face it. There two different classes for moral consideration. A living human (at any stage of development) and everything else.

You are willing to kill some humans because you think they are not developed enough. Where does it stop? What a kid with Downs Syndrome?

Man, I don’t like pile-ons, but really: Wit-of-Fuck, shut the hell up until you have an informed opinion!

[NinjaChick]

1. Do you have nothing better to do with your time than to pit random celebrities? Jesus, get a hobby that doesn’t involve shitting up a decent message board. Fuckwit.

2. A cannibal is someone who eats other human beings. Mr. Fox is advocating medical research that, as far as I know, does not involve eating people.

3. The stem cells in question, that Michael J Fox is advocating the use of, is not “genocide”. It’s not murder.

The research in question works thusly: A couple goes in for in-vitro fertilization. In this, they take the man’s sperm and a whole bunch of the woman’s eggs. They put them in petri dishes, and let nature do its thing in a slightly more controlled environment. Then, once they have a fertilized egg or 12, they implant a number of them in the woman’s uterus, and hope that at least one of them implants properly, resulting in a baby.

When they do this, they need to fertilize far more eggs than will be used. Why? I have no idea, but I’m certain it has something to do with “the limits of modern science”. They implant some. The rest of them? They’re thrown out. Literally. I’m not a doctor, but I’m assuming those petri dishes are tossed in a medical waste sack and hauled down to an incinerator.

That is a waste of “life”. It’s a waste of materials, it’s selfish, and it’s stupid. In my opinion, no one who’s not a sociopath can justify not using such a valuable resource to not just improve lives, but save them.

4. Here. Try reading something slightly more intelligent than “WorldNetDaily”, which I’m certain is a world-renowned news organization which I have been curiously ignorant of up until now. This site will give you a (gasp) unbiased look at the issue.

5. (added on preview) “Give them up for adoption”? What the fuck? That honest to god is the most jelly-brained thing I’ve heard in a stem-cell argument. These are not cute little kids. They’re not preemie babies. Listen closely now: These are clumps of MAYBE a few dozen cells! They’re invisible to the naked eye. You could try, surrogate parents do occasionally have IVF with another couple’s fertilized egg, but know what very often happens? The surrogate’s immune system kills your precious little cells.
