Other countries allow this and others don't. The early research has proven to be quite exciting for scientific development and I think, even as a Catholic, that this should be allowed.

If anyone wants to read any interesting articles on this area you should be able to find some on Bionews (type this into google and u should find the website). From what I vaguely remember, they cured a rat/mouse of a severe heart problem with this type of science, so obviously that kind of thing pushes scientists to want this allowed but I wonder too whether it is ethical.

I believe the key legal question in these areas is whether the evil counters a greater evil, and I think this science has the potential to do good, but also possibly do harm.

Either way, the church will only delay this legislation, I don't think they'll be successful in stopping it completely.
