WYSIWYG commented, among other things:

One of the objections to aborted fetal tissue being used is actually pragmatically realistic-- the recognition that some people will actually breed fetal tissue to abort and sell.

Recognizing, first, Susan, that you didn't actually espouse that view yourself, I can't forbear to point out that that is tantamount to saying that "Anything that can be misused is wrong."

Such as that guns are wrong because someone may misuse them to kill somebody.

Or that drinking alcoholic beverages is wrong because some people don't or can't control themselves.

Or that gambling is wrong because (ditto).

Or that automobiles are wrong because some people may engage in reckless driving and hurt or kill somebody.

Or that gas ovens are wrong because some people may use them as a means to suicide.

Or, as an even more ridiculous example, sex is wrong because a baby may be produced which, when grown, may murder someone.

In each case, the possible end-result evil (if it IS evil) can and should be dealt with in its own terms, not by trying to close off the whole universe of possible actions.
