I wish sometimes - maybe just once - the right-to-lifers who are so quick to scream bloody murder (literally) when something like stem-cell research becomes a medical possibility would stop for a hot minute and consider Right to QUALITY of Life. Many of the unborn children they insist be brought to term are being aborted because their parents are financially unable to care for them properly and give them the life due a normal kid, were concived via rape or incest, or are simply being born into "families" in which the parents are emotionally and maturity-level unequipped to care for a child. The Lifers blabber on about adoption but the simple fact is there are thousands of kids in orphanages who will NEVER be adopted and new adoptables are running ahead of potential parents by something like 100 to 1, last figure I saw. Stem cell research has the potential to improve MILLIONS of lives, heal an astounding range of injuries and illnesses, and spawn further research into genetics, cell regeneration, and God knows what else no one has thought of yet. Seems like a classic no-brainer, huh?
