The Guardian: Superman Star Would Come To UK For Stem Cell Treatment.
... Reeve said the scientists are now able to remove stem cells from embryos that are "not real" because they are not fertilised.
"The pro-life lobby has nothing to fear, because we are not talking about destroying lives," he continued. "Even if you believe that life begins at the moment of fertilisation of a sperm and an egg, that is not required for this line of research.
"Scientists do not need to use fertilised embryos, so I cannot understand what the objection is." He added that he hoped the House of Lords "will take the time to understand what the technology actually is, and to recognise it has nothing to do with destroying life".
Thank you! There are many other means by which to get stem cells than by killing babies! Although I don't know what he means by "not real" embryos... isn't that just an egg then? Hmm...
