The 'clarification' is a gross (as in very offensive) error on the part of this administration; the approved use of federally funded equipment is tantamount to supporting the exploitation of the embryos. Can anyone say 'slippery slope'?

LOL, When President Bush gave his speech last year and stated his position on "Embrionic Stem Cell Research" the NYT's blasted him for weeks for blocking the most promising research in modern history. Now that we are in an election year, they're describing his policy on ESCR like this... "When President Bush opened the door to human embryonic stem cell research a year ago this week,"

The NYT's and the other Liberal Rags have an agenda and anyone with half of a mind can see that the NYT's wants to divide conservatives by distorting the facts of a year ago and reversing their original editorial response to this issue. Much like the other Liberal Rags around the country, They can't be trusted to present the facts in and open and fair manner. THAT'S WHERE WE COME IN HERE AT FR. EMAIL THEM AND RAISE HELL :-)

Some of the stem cell research is total fraud. Time Magazine had an article with some lady stating that she was cured of Lupus with stem cell immplantation. What they didn't mention are the numerous accounts of persons going into spontaneous remission with administration of antibiotics. They also didn't mention that the patients in this study were given antibiotics prophylactis.

There are two issues here. First, a point of this article is the difdiculty and confusion created by government funding of non national defense research.

So most academic researchers steered clear of conducting embryo studies even with private money. The few who did so set up entirely separate laboratories with private dollars, for fear that using the equipment in their university laboratories would put them in jeopardy of losing their government grants.

That is just a silly hoop through which to jump and complicates research for everyone when research itself is difficult enough. I fault the government for being involved in funding research. It simply is not a proper function of government and leads not only to the complications here, but also to the use of money extracted from people who find the money's use morally wrong. I also fault those researchers who seek out and accept government money.

The second issue is stem cell research itself. Of course it should proceed....
