This in from the BBC...

The lead sentence says, "UK scientists planning to mix human and animal cells to find disease cures fear authorities will ban their work".

Mix cells. Hmmmm. That might not be so bad.

But read on.

These aren't just cells. These are human embryos they plan to mix with animal embryos.

"The creation of hybrid human-animal embryos was first suggested as a way of addressing the shortage of human eggs available for research."

Pardon me while I throw up.

OK, I'm back.

Notice the bias of the lead sentence.

There is no qualifier expressed about cures to disease being found, such as "to try to find cures", or "in hopes of finding cures -- it's taken as a given that "cures" will be found, if only scientists are allowed to mix animal and human embryos.

Fear... authorities... will ban....

The authorities are cast as the bad guys; the scientists as the picked-on and oppressed. In this day and age both the word "authorities" and the word "ban" are considered negative -- because no-one should have authority over what we do, and nothing should be off-limits.

It never ceases to amaze me how quckly and utterly a society that tosses off its belief in God loses its moral compass and casts off moral restraint.

I am so glad that I am a Christian. Saved by a God who loved me beyond imagination. Born again, regenerated, soaked in the Holy Spirit.

And I am so glad that I am not an atheist. Shudder.

What a difference the light of Christ makes.

It seems that only Christians care about the unborn.

May the love of God be increasingly poured out upon us by the Holy Spirit. "Shed abroad in our hearts" as the KJV puts it!
