Personal beliefs aside, there are other options. I do not really understand why this all has to be so controversial. Don't people know you can get stem cells from cord blood? What is controversial about that? <em>(What a waste that we do not have a good cord blood banking program and get all the stem cells we want without 'killing' or 'harvesting' embryos.)</em> I personally believe that there are many ethical circumstances to use embryos for stem cell research, but that doesn't even matter when you can get them with out using embryos. It just isn't fair to close the door on the whole thing especially when there are alternatives. I was raised republican, but as an adult, I do not think democracy involves taking away peoples rights and hindering valuable medical advancements.

The US should be at the forefront of Stem cell research. But, because of these idiots and their religious leaning and belief in complete fantasy, the US will lag behind the rest of the world. This is the science of the future. get wit it or be left behind. It could possibly be one of the things that actually helps the US economy. Oh.. but they will probably outsource that stuff to a third world country too. I cant believe Bush is such an idiot he wants to protect cells, but it is ok for thousands of people to die in Iraq. As for Laura... No one elected you! Shut the hell up you stupid, insignificant, unimportant bitch. Laura Bush is just as much of an idiot as her dimwit husband.

If you live in Minnesota, Tim Walz, Colleen Rowley, and Patty Wetterling could use your support. Let's take our country back from these demagogues. I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!!!! Just discovered it.
