“Humans are not born – they are grown.” Cut to a wide shot of glass tubes containing human fetuses. The camera zooms out and the tubes now number in fields, with robots reaching down and harvesting them like crops of wheat. “They are processed and consumed. As they grow, they are fed to each other intravenously.”
The most chilling scene in the movie The Matrix was just like this. The very notion of the sanctity of humanity being brought down to a mere energy crop so that robots could flourish was so disturbing that the first time I saw this I almost gagged.
But this is not a scene from The Matrix. This is a scene from the near future of about 2020. In the interest of modern medical science, human embryos will soon be grown in test tubes, their stem cells extracted, and the embryos discarded, while the stem cells are consumed by being injected into other human beings to help them re-grow missing parts, such as the missing segments of a damaged spinal cord.
The reality of the facts in this matter is so blatant, it becomes rather difficult to see how fellow humans can fail to comprehend the inherent evil that is associated with this science. Yet, Barack Obama, the new president who was voted and perhaps worshipped into office, has proceeded in the last couple days with executive orders to allow stem cell research to move forward.
The fundamental evil in stem cell research is not in the utilization of stem cells as they are injected into another human being. If that was the problem, organ transplants and blood transfusions would be evil. No one thinks as much.
At issue is the fact that the embryos are destroyed in the process, which is what most thoughtful people consider a whole new and disturbing kind of abortion. I, however, consider it a whole new and disturbing kind of cannibalism. Human life runs “from conception until death”. It’s one thing to allow abortions (murder of unborn children) to take place on behalf of women who insist upon making foolish and selfish choices in sleeping around with boys and men they are not married to, it’s something else entirely for a people’s government to fund research into the test tube growing and routine killing of innocent unborn babies in the interest of injecting them into other humans in order for them to enjoy better health and longevity.
Difficult to understand people’s failure to see it or not, their failure is clearly caused because they are inherently selfish. Selfishness and evilness typically go hand in hand.
The only thing more gruesome than the fiction of humans being grown in fields of test tubes where they are robotically harvested to be consumed by robots for energy is the soon-to-come reality of human beings being grown in fields of test tubes where they are robotically harvested to be consumed by other humans for tissue repair and longevity. It kinda makes cannibalism as harmless as eating turkey. Would you like a tablespoon of embryos with that oatmeal?
How many babies did you consume today?
