Murder Is Wrong. Is it Not?
Senate approves embryo stem cell bill
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted Tuesday after two days of emotional debate to expand federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, sending the measure to President Bush for a promised veto that would be the first of his presidency.
But in a surprise victory for embryonic stem cell supporters, the House defeated a second bill that would have encouraged stem cell research from sources other than embryos. Opponents of that bill, sponsored by Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., called it election-year cover that would allow Bush and other embryonic stem cell opponents to say they nonetheless support stem cell research.
Analysis-Last time I checked murder was wrong. If the law has changed since then please let me know. I do not like people playing politics with life and death issues and that goes for Republican and Democrat alike. The good news is President Bush is going to veto this horrendous bill. A babies age should not matter in whether it lives or dies.

PB I appreciate the fair chance and you may be very surprised by some of my positions. Stay tuned.
RPG ?
Feh. 'Pro disease' is what this post is; 'Pro dying from Alzheimer's', 'Pro I don't care if grandma becomes a vegetable', 'Pro fringe'.
Just another example of how far out of the mainstream the Rs are. I'm looking forward to this one. Can we have another Senate vote?
Hehe, StS
Initials HAHA. I am not a bomb thrower just a truth teller.
Ethical Embryonic Stem Cell Research?
Stem cell research can be done morally. No one has the right to play god.
I will say what most won't even talk about. Invitro fertilization is wrong. Creating small humans just to freeze them and maybe if they are lucky be implanted so they can grow up. Thousands just sitting frozen. We should be more civilized.
HD-There is a difference between sperm and an unfertilized egg and an embryo.
An embryo is the earliest stage of human life. I have an opened mind but your argument is hardly convincing.
HD an embryo IS a fertilized egg.
HD-To make it ethical, you would chose to what, throw them out?
Ideally they would be adopted.
