SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - The Illinois Senate voted Friday to spend state tax dollars on embryonic stem cell research, despite objections from those who argue the research destroys human life. The measure passed 35-23 and now goes to the Illinois House.

I wish these people would realize they don't have to use stem cells from human babies that have been aborted; they are taking the easy way out.

I'm a pro-stem cell research person. There are so many people just throwing out embryos they aren't going to use I think something good should come of it.

"They argue the cells are taken only from embryos created for in vitro fertilization that would otherwise be discarded.

"They go into the public sewer system. I really believe my maker would want me to use these embryos to sustain and improve human life," said one supporter, Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Hinsdale."

Wisconsin already has a stem cell research facility. We had one of the first in the country funded out of UW Madison.

Yep I know - and I don't agree with it.
