Unreasonable Technophobes

Well a big bunch of Unreasonable folks jumped out at me when I read the Opinion/letters to the editor pages of my local paper today. A letter was actually claiming as fact that research into and with embryonic stem cells was Wrong. It was stated not as an opinion, but as a Fact. Talk about unreasonable. Lets go into the WayBack machine when Moral religious folk knew that it was "Just Wrong" to take the blood from one human being and put it into the body of another human being. Now every local church has an annual blood drive. Or how about when it was "Just Wrong" to take an organ from one human being and transplant it into the body of another human being. Now an entire church congregation will request prayers, that a donor organ be found for little Johnny before he dies.
And how about when it was "Playing God" the first time a Human egg was fertilized outside of the womb, or an egg donor was used so that a couple could have a baby. Now one out of five couples over age 30 needs the help of the fertility medicine community (including all aspects of invitro fertilization) to start a family.
Trust me, in 25 or 50 years, you will be sitting in a church pew and someone will request a prayer so that little Johnny's new heart be Grown before he dies.
So if all you Unreasonable people who just can't stand change and progress will just get out of the way, so the rest of us can benefit from the progress that so many have worked hard to provide.
