As someone who suffers from an auto-immune disease I am all for anything that can bring cures to human ailements.
I don't believe that embryos of ANY living thing should be created mearly to be destroyed to harvest the cells, that is wrong. ALL life is precious. I guess it's scary to think just how far man would go in trying to create these things. Only God has the right to create new life. But, so much good has come from research and I truly believe that God inspires brilliant men and women in their work. Oh, I dont' know...I guess I'm saying I see both sides of it. I think the scientists have a grave responsibility in how they go about their work.

I didn't mean to imply that I think research is bad. I am all for researching to help save lives and cure diseases. It was just the mention of mice with human brains and cognitive abilities or a human child being born with mice as parents that was hard for me to grasp. I don't think things like that should be tampered with as the repercussions could be horrible for the "creatures" involved. Granted this article said that the scientists plan to destroy them before they really develop too far, but what about the next scientist who does it? Where do you draw the line? I guess I really just don't know how I feel about it. I do think that it has the potential of being very dangerous---or very beneficial.
