“British and Canadian scientists have found a way of reprogramming skin cells taken from adults, effectively winding the clock back on the cells until they were in an embryonic form.
Because the cells can be made from a patient's own skin, they carry the same DNA and so could be used without a risk of being rejected by the immune system.”

The first successful transfusion of “laboratory grown blood” has been given to a human. Scientists extracted blood stem cells from a volunteer’s bone marrow and grew red blood cells. After the cells were cultured, they were injected back into the donor’s body with excellent results, …. The cells functioned just like normal blood cells, effectively carrying oxygen around the body.

Not only did this show that the procedure was safe, it also showed that the cells can help reduce scarring and even cause new heart muscle to grow.

Pro-lifers claim that the abortion of a human embryo is wrong because it destroys human life. But human sperms and eggs are also human life.

Challenge 1 ResponseChallenge 1 ResponseThere is a scientific difference between sperm and egg (part of human life – 23 chromosomes) and the human embryo. The embryo has 46 chromosomes which is characteristic of all human life. Therefore, destroying a human sperm or egg does not constitute abortion.

“This implantation process begins on day six following fertilization and can continue until around day nine. Some now suggest that it is not until this time that the zygote can be called human life. However, achieving implantation does not make the individual more human; rather, implantation makes the individual more likely to survive.”
