Killing Some in a (Vain?) Attempt to Help Others. President Obama has gone over to the dark side (no racial pun intended). He has chosen to kill some babies, which we know with certitude are alive, in the mere hope that something we don't know can work in humans, can save older people — more powerful people. It would seem Obama doesn't really identify as black after all. Because if he did, he'd understand that the more powerful must never be allowed to abuse, and even kill, the less-powerful, no matter what excuse they may give.

Nancy Reagan praised Obama's decision, which should give any decent person pause. The single most striking thing ever written for Mrs. Reagan's husband was this:

With regard to the freedom of the individual for choice with regard to abortion, there's one individual who's not being considered at all. That's the one who is being aborted. And I've noticed that everybody that is for abortion has already been born.

No one should ever forget that, because what it speaks to is the old "... and then they came for me" thing. If you permit the powerful to kill the helpless, sooner or later, the powerful become SO powerful that you are helpless against them.
+
Mrs. Reagan herself once said:

I do not believe in abortion at will. I do not believe that if a woman just wants to have an abortion she should... I do believe if you have an abortion you are committing murder.

But as long as you're aborting a baby — or conceiving it in a little glass dish where its independent life is beyond question — to chop it up for parts in scientific research that may NEVER produce any cure for anything, that's OK?
+
Let us be plain: Any embryo's life is his, or hers, not yours. Your life is yours, your health problems are yours. It is not your right to kill someone else and steal his or her organs because you need a heart or liver transplant and have the power to do so. That you may need an organ transplant imposes no responsibility upon someone else to die for you. Conversely, just because someone else needs an organ transplant does not give them the right to kill you to rip your organ out of your body for their good.
+
Embryonic stem cell research is VAMPIRE SCIENCE, not human science. Stem cells come from other sources, like adults, and even from surplus human fat. But the vampires among us don't want to use those stem cells. They're not juicy enuf, I suppose. They want to kill babies and steal their youth, their lives, their breath.
+
All the advocates of killing babies to chop them up for parts need themselves to be killed and chopped up for parts. How can they object?
+
An unborn baby has committed no crime. S/he hasn't advocated killing adults and chopping them up for parts for him or her. But people who kill perfectly normal human babies — I'm not talking here of gross defectives, those sad monstrosities that survive Nature's usual disposition of monstrosities, miscarriage, and face horrible, tragic lives if not euthanized. I'm talking about the healthy, truly human children who, if not slautered to steal their stem cells, would grow into perfect human beings — do thereby commit a capital crime, and forfeit the right to life by commission of that crime.
+
Vampires are not entitled to kill innocent people to live. 'People' are not entitled to kill innocent people to live. If you have a disease or disorder, that's your problem. No baby has the obligation to die to make your life better. If someone already born should die by accident that you have nothing to do with, and willingly donates an organ to you, fine. But you have no right to kidnap someone off the street, slit his or her throat, and rip whatever organs you may need out of their lifeless body.
+
Until very recently, organ transplants would not have been an option, and they are still not an option thru most of the world. Accept your fate. You will, make no mistake, die someday, no matter how many babies you kill. If an organ honorably harvested can help you, and get to you in time, fine. If not, accept that that's life, which inevitably ends in death ("Nobody gets out alive."), and have the good grace to grant someone else their own life, not steal it.
+
If you believe in God, imagine facing God in your personal Last Judgment. Explain to him why you felt you had the right to kill someone else so you could live a little better, a little longer. To take the whole of someone else's life so you could enjoy a few more years of your own life. What do you think He is going to say? And where do you expect to spend the rest of eternity?
+
I don't believe in God, and don't have to posit an eternity suffering the tortures of the damned to keep me from immorality. I am an ethical Christian, not religious. I understand, and obey, the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. I don't need any supernatural being to control my behavior, because I am a decent human being who in fact does NOT do to others what I would not have them do unto me but do approach the world with such generosity as I can afford. Obama? Plainly he does not either understand, or cotton to (yes, racial reference intended, as reminder of how blacks fared when nobody protected them), that pesky Golden Rule nonsense.
+
The crimes that Obama wants to commit in our name, the mass death of children, must be stopped. Vampire scientists must be prevented from killing children, by suchever means as may be necessary. If that means destroying laboratories, then let's destroy laboratories. If it means punishing any deaths of children by execution of their killer, leaving a note on the body, "Chop ME up for parts instead", then let us execute the murderers. And it doesn't matter how high up they may wish to hide.
+
(There are people who pretend not to see the difference between murder and execution. Are we to assume they don't understand the difference between crime and punishment more generally? Perhaps they believe that "a penny stolen is a penny earned", or that right and wrong are indistinguishable, and evil is to be praised equally with good. It is because some people are simpleminded and base that we had to invent gods and threaten people with divine retribution to keep them in line even when we couldn't catch them in their misdeeds. A news report today says that organized religion (except for the more extremist sorts) is declining in the United States. People are more "spiritual" and less "religious". Question: if you're going to subject yourself to immersion in a world controlled by the supernatural, why not invent a God to order? Why not specify exactly what you want from Him or Her, in every particular? Dump everything that's not fun or that puts a cramp in your style. The inventors of the current Western God created Him to do their bidding, in controlling things they didn't want people to do. Why not create your own God, more powerful than the Judeo-Christian God, and have Him/Her approve of everything you want to do? And if that's what "spiritual but not religious" really means, why pretend to be "spiritual" at all? "Spirit" is supernatural gobbledygook. If what you mean is "ethical", "internally guided, morally ", or something like that, that's good enuf.)
+
I do not believe that Mr. Obama has spent so much as two minutes thinking of the morality of this matter. Nor even 50 seconds. Why just the unborn? If we can rightly kill an unborn baby to chop it up for parts, why not a baby just born? a baby six months old? a preteen child? Why can't we just seize any adult we can overpower, and kill him or her to save someone else?
+
I'll make a deal with Mr. Obama. If we can kill his wife, his dauters, and himself, and chop all four up for parts, then we can believe he is sincere that one person can rightly kill another to keep himself alive. If he does NOT consent to be killed for a stranger, then he has an obligation to put himself in the place of the children he wants to slauter by the hundreds of thousands, or even millions, to chop them up for stem cells.
+
If he does believe that it is proper to kill some to save others, has he signed an organ-donation card? Never mind. In the Brave New World of Obamian morality, we won't need an organ-donation card, or consent form of any kind. We find somebody who has the organs we need, we just kill them and take what we need. That's Obama's medical morality. Aren't you glad you live in a time of such marvelous science? Do you have any organ someone else could use? Someone 'better' than you are? Richer than you are? More powerful than you are? Enjoy it while you can.

(The current U.S. military death toll in Iraq, according to the website "Iraq Coalition Casualties", is 4,256 — for Israel.)
