Lack of education about the subject in conjunction with lack of morality. Don’t mean to paint a picture about most Americans but in general we do not want to make sacrifices which leads to selfish acts.

It is all about me! Unless it affects me personally I don’t care.

The so-called “People’s Republic” of China executes prisoners (including, apparently, political prisoners) and harvests their organs in order to sell them for transplantation. Our government rightly finds this abhorrent and objects to the practice.

I don’t see any practical difference between the Chinese practice of killing in order to provide body parts for medical purposes, and the practice of killing unborn children in order to provide stem cells for medical purposes, including growing body parts. Except, of course, that the prisoners may or may not have been guilty of something, while the babies certainly were not guilty of anything, and, of course, our government not only has no objection to the killing of the babies, it is in fact promoting the practice.

How is it that Americans aren’t bothered by the latter?

The debate might be dead, but the train is still moving, and picking up speed.
