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.
That just about sums it up, but be careful what you say, your heading towards the Church excommunicating you and the animal rights activists burning your house down!
