ever met a homeless person who was sane? the % of homeless with severe mental deficiencies is astounding
These orphans are a burden on the state....the Irish people's taxes are literally paying for every part of their existence. Why not get something good out of their investment. This research will save lives.
It is the bullshit "slippery slope" thinking expressed in this thread that has hampered scientific progress for the last 50 years.
And regarding the holocaust and Dr. mengela's works....every country condemned his work, yet demanded to see his results. No one wants to admit it, but the Nazi scientists advanced modern medicine and science by leaps and bounds, granted their methods were nothing short of horrific. We have the capability to cure diseases and increase the quality of life, however the religious groups in our country choose to cock block this research. See how their attitudes change when a family member gets cancer, they don't pray for a cure; no they get the chemo and the bone marrow transplants
