Destroying stem cells is immoral

[BOSSHOG]

That, according to george bush, per CBS radio news and the reason he will veto any bill providing funding for stem cell research. A look at bush's resume and one would question the rationale of him questioning what is or is not moral or immoral. Our government is wasting an incredible amount of time and energy and funding to placate the religiously insane in our country. It is a tragedy.

1. No, destroying full-blooded humans is immoral, but

you're right, morality doesn't enter into dimson's existence.

[AndyA]

2. So I guess Bush believes he's the morality monitor for the country.

How moral is it to send other people's sons and daughters into harm's way without proper armour?

How moral is it to lie to the entire country in order to start a war for the benefit of the big corporations?

How moral is it to pick out a class of people based on their sexual preferences and discriminate against them?

How moral is it to abuse alcohol and drugs?

How moral is it to endanger other lives by driving while under the influence?

How moral is it to cheat others out of money through deceptive and illegal business practices?

George Bush is hardly in a position to determine what is or is not moral, based on his past history.

[BOSSHOG]

3. Nor are his supporters

They are poster children for hypocrisy who pick and choose in their religious book just how moral they will and just how moral you and I should be.

[AndyA]

5. That is the most concerning of all.

The supporters feel their beliefs should be forced on everyone else, and they want legislation put in place to make it the law of the land.

Of course, if it would cause any inconvenience or restrict the rights of the supporters, they don't want that. They want others to be discriminated against, and suffer the inconvenience, yet they want to do as they see fit. And Chimpy in Chief is all for it.

So much for being Christians and morally right.

4. But bombing and shooting innocent Iraqis is moral????

[serryjw]

6. The rest of the world

will again pass us in the development of this science..how is that moral?

On TV this morning Senator Harkin was talking about how it it MORAL for the RW to do In Vetro and discard UNUSED EGGS? Good question!

[LynneSin]

7. But it's ok that those same stem cells were slated for destruction

:crazy:

I mean, if you're done with IVF and there are embryonic cells left over either you leave them frozen or they get slated for destruction.

I think it's sick that one form of destroying the cells is somehow better than another

[Lindacooks]

8. Yep, you're right.

These blastocysts are going to be thrown away if they aren't used for research. The total insanity of this is more than I can bear.

[BOSSHOG]

9. The cherry picking crowd

The holier than thou constitution hating assholes will ensure their lives are comfortable in every way possible, physically and psychologically. Just what Jesus promoted right?

[raccoon]

10. Until they, or their loved one(s) develops Alzheimer's or Parkinson's,

then they may want to re-evaluate their position about this.

[BOSSHOG]

11. At that point in time

they will play leviticus backwards and discover, that lo and behold such research is necessary, praise the lord.

[Auntie Bush]

12. Won't be long now. Bush* has been showing signs of Alzheimer's

for years now...either that or he is really stupid!

[BOSSHOG]

14. My Dad

had Alzheimer's his last two years (at least) and I would have trusted him with the nuclear codes before he died instead of bush. He is the result of what happens when those who are religiously insane vote.

[LynneSin]

15. I think we should ban IVF and Divorce

I mean these are the real killers of embryos and destroyers of marriage

[Lindacooks]

16. Well, divorce is mentioned in the Bible as a sin.

While abortion is mentioned, only in passing, as someone who causes a miscarriage that the woman doesn't want should pay a small fee to the FATHER.

[serryjw]

13. The rest of the world

will again pass us in the development of this science..how is that moral?

On TV this morning Senator Harkin was talking about how it it MORAL for the RW to do In Vetro and discard UNUSED EGGS? Good question!

[Submariner]

18. Chimpy wants to save the blastocycts to make up for his war crimes dead

[LittleClarkie]

17. Every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted

God gets quite irate...
