Now, why is this illegal in America? Is it to do with "abortion is murder" here's a tip, abortion is a reality. It's happening and I don't think it's going to be made illegal any time soon. Now, acknowledge that abortion is fully legal, why isn't embryotic stem cell research? If it was made legal, all of those aborted fetuses could be given a use. It's taking something which is generally seen as bad and gaining something good out of it. It could save lives. But nope, it's illegal, so all those aborted fetuses are just being thrown into the bin.
