..a human being (not cloned)

When I first began, I mentioned this person, me. Am I to be another being? But it is me...no one else.
What is this possibility by James Watson who won the Nobel Prize for describing DNA structures who also wants unrestricted human embryo research in order to 'cure stupidity'? Is it not that as we grow, not only in age or size, we continue to learn, some at a faster pace than others and can we be considered stupid for not knowing at first? Yes, agreed that there are those who are intellectually disabled but are we to find a cure through manipulation of another, the "littlest" of life which is the human embryo or are we to lift up in dignity the intellectually disabled by direct personal human relationship which they need- a hope that he/she is still part of the human race.
Ironically, by doing research on the human embryo the dignity of the human person has been trampled upon and yet as if to make amends for this lowly act there is this need to clear one's conscience and that is to be the saviour of another human person (the intellectually disabled) to whom in actual fact more could be done on a level where there is acceptance and not of rejection or of being outcast.
Life is a mystery, is it not? Do you or I have all the answers? I guess not, but going beyond the boundaries of the 'sacredness of life' is a step towards eternal damnation.
My hope lies in the belief that there is still a light shining out of the darkness. How about you?
