The Nose Knows

Scientists in Australia have discovered how to grow adult stem cells from the human nose, which (correct me if I am wrong) would basically eliminate the need to use the stem cells from babies for scientific research. This should make everyone much happier now, but will it? I doubt it. The question remains to be answered as to whether or not scientists around the world will smell the scent of progress and accept this new achievement, or continue to insist on going down the original road towards using human embryos.

People are just not to smart when it comes to using common sense. They say that they really wish there was something other than abortion that they could do to get those stem cells, but when something comes along that says they don’t need to kill babies they just say that the new information isn’t really proven to work, or the old way is better. I really wish that sin wasn’t so much a part of our culture. The whole world would be so different without sin, that most people wouldn’t know what to do. Adam and Eve really made it bad for the rest of us, but if they hadn’t have eaten the forbidden fruit, somebody would have down the line.
