I went to get milk this morning and bought the AZ Republic (something I don’t normally do but I was “checkin) 🙂 We are on the cover of the Valley and State section this fine morning (section B). They seem the same but the paper has pictures that the online article doesn’t.

Here is a link to it.

What do you think? 🙂

I have a few comments to make about several things printed but I think John was pretty fair in his depiction and I think he was kind in his representation of me. I giggled over his 10 minute response remark but I can’t deny it. 🙂 Of course I knew the word zealot would come up some where LOL.

One thing written, was pretty ironic to me.

“The Ethics Committee of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine sees an embryo as a “potential human being worthy of special respect.”

The society believes embryo research is ethically acceptable if the embryos are treated with respect and the research is likely to benefit human health. “

Am I nuts or does that sentence say that the ASRM see’s that embryos are worthy of special respect and then goes on to say it is ethically acceptable to terminate them through research?

I wish someone would have said that to me. I would have had a real good time running with that one. Believe me, if anyone determines to terminate my life for research without my permission I don’t think I am going to feel real “respected” 😉 .

I also would point out that if an embryo thaw’s in a cryopreserved tank – using the phrase “it is rendered useless” is an interesting way to describe death…don’t you think?

I also thought it interesting that he quoted woman’s pro choice groups as defining the embryo as a non person because an embryo is simply cells with no nervous system. How very scientific. Is someone (yet again) picking and choosing what will biologically define personhood? Come on now.

Oh and Jim’s very favorite line will be “…and his mother’s jet black hair”. He is going to say “See! Even he agrees your hair is black!” (We have been arguing that point for years!) LOL.

And one other IMPORTANT thing….our adoption agency is “Nightlight” Christian Adoption not “Nightline”. You can visit them at www.snowflakes.org.

And Heidi will want to know “But did you like the picture?” LOL! I’ll post a copy later. I never like pictures of me but the “family” theme was cute.
