MrsSpringsteen said:Actress Mary Tyler Moore appeared with Frist during the day, saying she was very disappointed by Bush's stance.
"This is an intelligent human being with a heart, and I don't see how much longer he can deny those aspects of himself," she said.
MrsSpringsteen said:
Brownback is misleading. The embryos funded by H.R. 810 were “created for the purposes of in vitro fertilization…which are spare or in excess of clinical need and in every single case are slated for medical waste.” Only about 10 percent of embryos are adopted — the rest are disposed of. If H.R. 810 passes, they will instead be used to develop potentially live-saving cures for millions of people."

This is what angers me. People don't GET this. I watched a documentary on Christopher Reeve and he went to advocate for stem cell. It was heartbreaking to hear him give such logical arguements in favor, only to be shushed by people who would rather save unfertalized eggs in coolers than save living humans.

Would you trust the government to run it?

The issue here is the slippery slope of government-sponsored growth and harvesting of living tissue.
Once begun, where will it end?

When they begin cloning people, letting them live till adulthood, and then harvesting their organs, of course.
