May I suggest a third option in cases like this along the lines of "interested, but too busy to find the time to get head around it". Not all poll results need to be so black and white. But hey, it's your poll, so I'll shut up now. :p	allblack (6574)

A pig heart valve, OK . . . but a human heart valve . . No . I would therefor not accept any human stem-cell applications to be implanted into my own body . cannibalism?! in a heart transplant you don't eat the bloody thing for nourishment! you receive, with permission of the donor and family, the organ from a suitable donor that has died despite the best efforts of medical staff etc i am an organ donor - if i am killed and my remains can be used to save another life i most definetly would want that person to benefit from my tragedy likewise, if i was in need of blood or organs, i would gladly accept them rather than just lay there dying . why have several people die instead of only one? you aren't killing for it; they would die anyway . i even condone actual cannabilism (as per it's definition, eating human flesh) if it will save lives without causing a death (but be sure to cook that stuff) i cannot understand any rationale against it that isn't rooted in religious bias - in which case it's fine for someone to refuse treatment for themselves (same for euthanasia) but not to bar treatment for others, which in itself akin to murder SurferJoe is a Jehovah's Witness, that explains alot	motorbyclist (188)
621770	2007-12-21 04:05:00	Nice set-up . . . but you KNOW my philosophy . . and I had it long before learning what I now know . I'm not going to debate . . as this was an OPINION poll, not a platform for conversion . As to cannibalism . . . I FEEL that taking food or body parts into my body . . . either thru mouth or medical intervention is about the same thing . That is MY stand, and is my conscience call . . not a spiritual statement . . . be careful to know what you are saying . There is NO requirement that I abstain from body-part swaps . . hearts, lungs, kidneys or whatever . . . . that's MY stand as I see it . . . . and again, I don't debate that so don't try that bait with me .

621773	2007-12-22 00:31:00	Remember you are dealing with an American,so humour will be lost. Oh gosh, I forgot about that. English humour is such a great thing. Just requires a certain mindset to understand it. Brings to mind all the Yank cover versions of some wonderful UK TV shows over the years. Nuff said!! Ken :cool:	kenj (9738)
