Banning stem cell research isn't an "ethical issue."
It's a BS ploy to make the hard right religious nuts feel that they have an anti-abortion President when the stem cells are malingering, frozen genetic leftovers from fertility clinics which would just be thrown in the trash.
However, to hear Bush say it, he's destroying Abortion as an evil by preventing Stem Cell research.
Bull. Pucky. Put that in a pipe and smoke it.
The hardcore, Pro-Life right also tried to demonize Christopher Reeve in that way - that he could benefit from the results of stem cell research.
WELL DUH!
He could then walk and breathe like every one of those inbred hair-shirt wearing fanatics. Is it too much to ask to be a whole, operating human being again? For our soldiers who have been crippled and paralyzed in combat defending out country to have fully repaired spines to pay off our debt to their sacrifice? Plus - it's not even abortions that harvest these stem cells. Yeesh.
(Note: I'm against abortion, but I cannot condone making it illegal because of the damage done to teenaged girls who are either victims of predatory males or who simply make mistakes. Adult women, though, should know better than to use it as some form of birth control.)
I'm in agreement with both Paul and Doug. I think there's an overwhelming consensus in this country, from the left to the right, that embryonic stem cell research should be allowed to go on unencumbered by religious objections.
As Darrin's said in Candorville a number of times, these embryos are going to be trashed anyway, so why not have their destruction MEAN something? While people are bickering over it and the President and his few Congressional supporters on this issue use it to score points with evangelicals, people like Reeve and Fox are suffering and dying.
It's just sick.
I don't even want to get started on Limbaugh. That man isn't even worth these two sentences.
Well, the embryos' existence, if they were used to improve lives, would mean something. Otherwise, they're nothing more important than what is thrown out on a tampon - which is the discarded, unfertilized egg and womb liner of a normally functioning woman.
The embryos are unformed blastocysts. The very building blocks of what COULD potentially form a humanoid - if we happened to plug it into a fully operating womb and waited a long time.
The sad thing is, all of stem research was blocked even though the umbilical cord could be used instead of the embryo: HEAR THAT MR. BUSH?!?!
