Embryo research
WHAT a lot of sense Peter Mullen
talks. I always agree with him,
especially when he wrote about the
moral outrage of embryo research
(Echo, May 6).
It's amazing that an embryo is a
baby if it's wanted, yet if unwanted
it's an embryo and okay to do what
you like with it. What happened to
the fifth commandment, "Thou
Shalt Not Kill", or any of the
commandments come to that?
They are not taught in school
anymore. No wonder our country is
in a mess as God and Christian
morality are driven out.
I often think that at least some of
the millions of babies aborted over
the years could have turned out to
be great world leaders.

THE issue of hybrid embryo
research is undoubtedly complex,
but Peter Mullen's column (Echo,
May 6) seems to defy logic.
Initially, he tells us that the Bill to
create human-animal hybrid
embryo is going through Parliament
at the moment. Further into his
column he claims that no human
has ever been cured of a disease
using human embryos.
If the legislation is only just
progressing through Parliament,
why should he expect that humans
have been cured of disease using
these techniques?
