Great Post Bibliotequa. Agree with you on pretty much all of it.

I too am 100% hetrosexual but belive very strongly in equal rights and equal benefits for gays.

It's true that I have muscular dystropy like Toxiclore however my views on stem cell research are not related to my disablity.

Stem cell research or Gene therapy has almost no chance of being ready in time to save my life my views are based on what I think is best for the world.

My views on abortion of disabled babies though in certain circumstances is of course strongly coloured by my experiences and feelings and I'm also pro euthanasia.
