Objectivism & the Right to Kill Nacent Human Beings

Posted By: 'Okie' | 1:15 pm — 6/1/2005 | 3 Comments See comments below:

The lead off statement of the Ayn Rand Institutes’s current editorial on embryonic stem cell research states:

In the name of the sanctity of human life and the inviolability of rights, embryonic stem cell research must be allowed to proceed unimpeded.

The editorial goes on to explain just how an embryo cannot be considered “human”, at least not as human as you are me.

Doug TenNapel delivers a coherent rant against this objectivist’s position:

Get your barf bag…this article at the Ayn Rand Institute now has scientific proof…embryos are NOT human!:

Check it out, he’s pretty much said it all. Considering the position of the Rand Institute, I thank God that I’m not all that “objective”! (db)

    I’ll say this on your site because I can’t say it on mine…this article is the scariest Nazi sh_t I’ve ever read. And look at the arguments contained in the article, it’s almost pre-school in structure. “We can kill a clump of cells, because they are a clump of cells….I mean look at em’, they’re just a clump of cells.”

    Then it goes something like this, “People who believe in Jesus are jacked up, Jesus people think a clump of cells are humans walking around, Jesus people are crazy, scientists are really smart!”

    Good one Ayn Rand Institute, I’ll be under my bed aiming a loaded shot-gun at the door when you come to my house to harvest my fricken’ organs.

    [Hey Doug, can't say it on mine, either. :-) Had to edit out a vowel, sorry. (db)]

    Just goes to show, that even the best philosophies are susceptible to congenital defects.. Ideas are only as good as the people who maintain them…
    … and the willingness of others to recognize common virtue in the faces of abnormal stupidity. Christians have our idiot moments as well. Case in point, the ELCA.
