Let's see. . .Republicans simply don't want Federal taxpayers to fund stem cell research that kills life.

And. . .Democrats want to continue to kill (abort) a million babies a year.

Michael J. Fox goes off his meds to dance his little dance to make us ignore these facts.

Sorry, Mr. Bojangles, your party murders people while ours protects their lives--even yours. . . .

For, it remains for the nonmedical actor Democrat hacktivist Fox et al to demonstrate ANY return on embryonic stem cell research.

Democrats and their death camps in hideous disguise cannot do a thing about the stench.

Good comments Phil, especially since they haven't proved one thing that shows embryonic stem cells to be superior to adult stem cells.

Does the value of the research matter? By arguing about the value of research, we accept the utilitarian argument that this nascent human life can be destroyed if the value derived from the destruction is high enough.

I reject this argument wholesale. If I cannot determine the value of the human life objectively, how am I to measure it against the value of the research? If the value of the human life of a blastocyst is zero, then it would be fine destroy them for any purpose, and there should be Embryo Milkshakes available down at the Dairy Queen. However, if there is some positive value to be placed on this human life, any argument that weighs that value against anything else must assume that that value can be ascertained.

This is simply beyond our capabilities as human beings. I will not tinker with the machinery of weighing the value of some human life against other things. Down that road lies all the horrors of the 20th Century, and Hundreds of Millions dead.
