>Exactly! Anyone who has (or has ever been close to anyone with) Parkinson's or Alzheimer's diseases or a spinal cord injury should be writing a letter to every twit who voted against this. For that matter anyone with diabetes should get a pen out too. Heck the more I think about it, the longer this list gets.
>I don't understand it. What kind of religious nutjob would rather see a bunch of living crippled, impaired, miserable people running around than to simply allow some research on embryos? Those who voted against this are the least-caring humans in our country!
Why do humans have to be killed to research crippling diseases? As far as I know, stem cells have a bright future, but there are other sources of stem cells, apart from embryos.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
