Re: STEM CELL RESEARH/let's stop

[Guest guest]

I happen to disagree, respectively, Deb. Just as the Bush and Kerry

issues raises red flags and anger issues so do the issues of

religion and stem cells research. Many of us have very strong points

of view on both. I do not beleive that this is the place to discuss

or debate either. I am sure that both of these issues have numerous

support or online chat rooms that people may go to if they feel the

need to have that discussion. This group I believe was formed for

families of children who are battling mitochondrial disorders.

Though we may believe in a higher power, or offer our prayers to

those in need when it is needed I don't believe it is an appropriate

debate topic.

I don't want to start a fight anyone here, and I know we have been

down this road numerous times on this group before. I believe that

if we begin a discussion on religious beliefs it will alienate

others who may wish to join but may not feel welcome because of the

religious content.

Anyways, that is my two cents worth, Dawn

I believe "discussion" is the only way we resolve issues...even if it is to "agree to disagree"...though that is difficult, at times, especially when emotions enter in...and it's hard not to be emotional about such life altering issues.

I am not offended by any member here who doesn't hold a religious belief and chooses to express it and I pray those same people won't be offended that I do hold a religious belief, and express it.
