Stem cell research.
If your core belief system is based upon the notion that:
All men are granted the privilege of life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness by the State, realizing what the State gives the State can take
away.
Then you can support the Detroit news in support of Stem Cell Research
conducted on live humans, after all they don't do the research on dead
cells. Use of living cells that are as part of the human continuum of
life, is ok because the State has not granted those used in
experimentation, the privilege of living.
If your core belief system is based upon the notion that:
All men are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights,
including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. You realize that
ones rights are inherent in being human, and the State need to be limited,
so it does not obliterate the rights of an individual, even if the
individual could be useful if ground up in some experiment.
