Secular scientists are often quick to dismiss faith as having any relevance to their work, but in fact much of our moral code, personal and civil, is rooted in religious tradition search. 2 bbc home page The Bible and its commentaries are a wealth not only of ethical imperatives but also of insights into character and behavior search. 2 bbc home page It is foolish or naive to ignore this fact search. 2 bbc home page Rather, the president's intransigence provided powerful proof of the dangers of letting one group's religious views dictate national policy search. 2 bbc home page The president's policy is based on the belief that all embryos, even the days-old, microscopic form used to derive stem cells in a laboratory dish, should be treated as emerging human life and protected from harm search. 2 bbc home page This seems an extreme way to view tiny laboratory entities that are no larger than the period at the end of this sentence and are routinely flushed from the body by Mother Nature when created naturally search. 2 bbc home page But it is also foolish, and wrong, to use the founders of Judaism, Islam and Christianity as foils to support the current administration's views on pressing moral questions in medicine search. 2 bbc home page It demonstrates a remarkable ignorance about the diversity of religious thought concerning when life begins, when it ends and what makes it sacred search. 2 bbc home page These blastocysts, as they are called, bear none of the attributes we associate with humanity and, sitting outside the womb, have no chance of developing into babies search. 2 bbc home page Some people consider them clumps of cells no different than other biological research materials search. 2 bbc home page Others would grant them special respect but still make them available for worthy research search. 2 bbc home page But Mr search. 2 bbc home page Bush is imposing his different moral code on both, thereby slowing research that most consider potentially beneficial search. 2 bbc home page DeLay and others who oppose stem cell research on theological grounds might be surprised to learn that it is not Abraham but Adam whose life and circumstances are interpreted by Jewish and Muslim thinkers when they assess the morality of this science search. 2 bbc home page
