Re: stem cell research
n-zero no. like i said in the thread previously, it's become a popular cause for politicians to throw around because the majority of america supports it— exactly like offshore drilling. obama had to drop his opposition of offshore drilling because the majority of americans disagreed with him. unfortunately, the majority isn't always right. most people don't know a lot about embryonic stem cell research except the vague promise that "it can save lives!". it is a logical fallacy- a false dillemna.

"Do we save a person suffering from a disability or do we save an unborn child?" is the question posed by the advocates of embryonic stem cell research. in the meantime, advances in the viability of adult (which are limited to reproducing cells of the body organ in which they came from) and placental (which are unlimited, like embryonic) have been largely ignored because the debate of embryonic stem cell research has been picked up by the politicians, and now noone would DARE oppose embryonic stem cell research. do you just HATE disabled people?

this is the same crap that came out of the bush administration calling all democrats unpatriotic. "either you're with us, or you're with the TRRURISTS!"
