This will take a little more consideration on my part than I had hoped, anyone else wanna take a shot in the meantime?whosawhatsis?https://www.blogger.com/profile/12792264289634575186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34427342.post-35918130486893394402006-11-03T21:28:00.000-08:002006-11-03T21:28:00.000-08:00As mentioned on Scott Adams' blog, 20 years of res...As mentioned on Scott Adams' blog, 20 years of research on embryonic stem cells hasn't cured anybody. Nobody is happy that Michael J. Fox has Parkinson's, but let's be honest, embryonic stem cell research isn't going to cure him. For Michael J. Fox to get on the CBS News and shake for Katie Couric two weeks before the election is chicanery. The Democrats' message is that embryonic stem cell research would have cured the sick if it weren’t for the big bad Republicans who put a stop to it. But the Democrats' message is a lie.<br /><br />If you honestly consider <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2001/08/20010809-2.html"><br />President Bush's position on the matter</a>, you'll see that it has been well-researched and makes a world of sense. Decent people don't want a culture that devalues life. Self-awareness has nothing to do with it.<br /><br />Also, I take issue with your premise that "creating laws to enforce religious values is unconstitutional". God Himself said "thou shall not kill". Does that mean that the cops will let you off because the law against murder "enforces religious values and is therefore unconstitutional"? It doesn't work that way. <i>Most</i> laws "enforce religious values" and that's the way it <i>should</i> be.Lou franklinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677266380638495226noreply@blogger.com
