Money which could have been better spent.

You are close to the truth but missed the mark. This is money that should not have been spent on anything. The government of ArnieVille is broke. They have been broke for some time. The only way to reverse this unfortunate postiion is to fire Government workers in California and cut back on benefits. It's either that or default on bond payments. There is no other solution. Raising taxes will just drive the affluent taxpayers out the state.

It is about grant money and fighting to keep abortion legal.

Such an observation might be valid if the goal was to produce results such as cures.

The goal was to devalue the human embryo to the point that it can be used, killed, and discarded without any compunction.

The goal is to remove all moral baggage from doing the same to embryos in the womb.

Something this costly & time-consuming always struck me as why it's a better fed govt issue instead of a state one.

Plus, as far as embryonic stem cells are concerned, scientists have figured out a way to derive a whole stem cell line from just one embryonic cell.

The money did provide jobs for a lot of people so just look at the $3 bil. as a jobs program. Think of how many people it kept from turning to life of crime because of living in poverty and having their portfolios tank.

I just heard Rush remind his listeners about John Edward’s comment about how Christopher Reeve would have walked again if John Kerry (for stem cell)was elected president. He was wrong on two counts.

Even algore tacitly admits embryonic stem cell research is a dead end by investing his money in companies doing adult stem cell research.

50 years & $30B won’t achieve any results either.

But, they knew that going in, and didn’t care.

It’s the liberal way of excusing abortion, as though there may be some benefit to killing babies, so we must continue.

The SRM has INTENTIONALLY conflated “adult stem cell” and “embryonic stem cell” to support the leftist pro-abortion agenda and to attack “evil conservatives” as against curing disease.

Propaganda at its worst...
