You brought up the question concerning ethics.

In relation to the topic. We could discuss all kinds of ethics…like how do you feel about the ethics of forcing an 11 yr old to carry a pregnancy to term? But it has nothing to do with the topic. Feel free to start a thread.

Once again you brought up the question about ethics so don't be surprised by my response.

Care to discuss the ethics of using animals to grow human organs?

I don't see that as a problem. It may save many lives.

Breeding animals that may never experience a normal life…for the purpose of extending human lives is questionable to me.

Humans trump animals in my opinion. So you value a pig's life over a human's life?

The human donor organ supply is woefully insufficient to meet demand. The main reason is that cars are safer and there are fewer fatal accidents than there used to be. Livers are fine from older people but everything else needs a youthful donor.

This is true. It takes 7 years to get a kidney from a deceased donor. I have been on dialysis 5 years. She predicts that I might have a 2 year wait from now. A living donor I could have a kidney tomorrow. Our news anchor just donated one of her kidneys to a young girl age 13. How cool is that?

5 years? I salute your determination. I've been going through cancer treatment for 14 months. I thought that was endless.

This is morally wrong on so many levels.

I don't speak for anyone but myself, but I value LIFE.

My cats life has more value than MANY human beings.

Need examples?
