Life or lack thereof

The Senate voted Wednesday to reject restrictions President Bush has placed on embryonic stem-cell research. To which, anti-ESCeller Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) asked the question on everyone's minds: When does life begin?

(It's unclear whose life he was talking about, specifically. He couldn't have been talking about his. He's a cellar dwellar presidential candidate - It doesn't get much more lively... )

But he followed it with a more pressing question. "Will we sanction the destruction of nascent human life with taxpayer dollars?"

Of course not, Mr. Senator, isn't that what the War in Iraq is for?

Lol. Seriously.

I think this stem cell debate is so funny, b/c the opponents of embryonic stem cell research always dance around the question of what to do with those embryos that are marked for destruction ANYWAY.

You should write a story about the non-embryonic kinds of stem cell research and whether they really are, as these people testified in Florida yesterday, better or more effective than the embryonic kind.

Yeah, they're marked for destruction, but that's different than marked for death... :)

Didn't President Clinton say it best -- it depends on what the definition of the word 'is' is.
