Stem Cell Research

Many times I have had fights on the morality of stem cell research and abortion with my mother, a very, overwhelmingly, Christian woman. I truly don't feel that anything is morally wrong with stem cell research and I feel that if someone wishes to donate their unused eggs to science, go right ahead. My mother feels otherwise and she usually tells me that the only reason I think that stem cell research is a good thing is because I try too hard to be against Christianity. While I may have had my fair share of troubles with that religion in particular, she is false in her accusation. Rather I think that the only reason she is going against stem cell research is because she is a Christian and has nothing better to do than complain about random crap that no one truly cares about. I feel that even if I was tied down to a religion I would have no problem with stem cell research anyways.
Okay the point I want to make is; people who say stem cell research is killing babies are idiots. The embryos that they use for research don't even count as fetuses or for that matter babies. It is simply a egg that has been fertilized many for a week and shows the presence of stem cells. The egg doesn't have thoughts yet and it couldn't even live with out being inside a mother, so using these embryos for research is not killing anything. The unused embryos for invetro fertilization are just going to be dumped anyways, so we might as well get some use out of them anyways. And for those people that say that life begins at the moment of conception; I would love to see them find a freaking heart beat or single brain wave with in this ball of cells, that doesn't look like anything yet.
