Welcome to Every Thought Captive. I’m Phil Steiger, pastor at Quail Lake Community Church.
As the political season heats up, there is one topic that is creating a buzz again in commercials and the media. Several celebrities are coming out in support of candidates who support embryonic stem cell research. As our heartstrings are tugged with several emotional and moving appeals, we need to be people who are able to deal with the facts of the matter.
As a matter of fact, in order to harvest embryonic stem cells, embryos must be killed. Since research has begun, exactly no cures have been associated with embryonic stem cells. On the other hand, adult stem cells are associated with over 60 documented cures of illness and disorder. In addition, adult stem cells can be harvested without harming anyone. The facts of science, as well as the ethical considerations, are not on the side of embryonic stem cell research. Be sure this year that you are doing some thinking with your head, not just with your heart.
