In Reply To: when stem cell research finally breaks through and cures cancer or Parkinson's, all those who oppose it cannot benefit. Sounds fair.
Message: I wish the politicians who've opposed embryonic stem cells and voted against the research would have to sign a pledge. It would say that no one in their family would agree to accept the cure for diabetes, alzheimer's, etc. once it is found. That's because embryonic stem cells were used in the research and cure. Something tells me those politicians wouldn't sign it, or they wouldn't honor it down the road. I can't understand the conservatives who are so outspoken on embryonic stem cells ... yet those same folks say nothing about in-vitro fertilization. By law, any eggs that are not used by the donors have to be destroyed. embryos-destroyed. No one speaks out about that. I guess no one wants to tell a good Christian family they can't have children? But they'll say plenty about how those diabetic kids will have to live their lives. What hypocrites.
