Namaste Listmembers,
I am disappointed the 'debate' on stem cell
research has been more of a 'public aclimatisation campaign' than an inclusive
discussion.
Australia has a leading role in this research, and I have been following the
'progress of its inception' for many years.
I have fundamental concerns and find little support from the major religions.
I read this quote on the list a few weeks ago, "The Personality of Godhead said:
Under the supervision of the Supreme Lord and according to the result of his
work, the living entity, the soul, is made to enter into the womb of a woman
through the particle of male semen to assume a particular type of body".
The above belief might logically condone SCR as dealing with 'unspiritualised
matter'. The technical procedure however, begs careful appraisal of concepts
defining force (Mercury) and form (Venus). This effort may concretise Venus as
matter only. So be it. Matriarchal writings have told us of the 'holographic'
female. The ovum worshipped as creation within itself!. That this creative
process is activated with so little force affirms the complexity of energy and
power within the potential.
I can't help but feel SCR is 'farming the female' and despite the touted
benefits, further reduces 'HER' to unholy.
Warm Regards,
Ann.
