Re: stem cell research
Just heard a very interesting chap from the U of Michigan on Radio 4 explaining that Bush span this whole thing as being "killing embryos that could be babies" as such, which is completely false.

The embryos used are ones that, for a variety of reasons, would never be used for in vitro fertilisation or any other form of fertility treatment and would have been discarded. So they would never develop into human beings as such.
