HEALTH: STEM CELLS.
Time. Title Abstract. Personal Opinion.
What do I think of stem cell research?
I think you should give the medical researchers about 20000 of the frozen embryos across the United States and destroy the other 400000.
Why? It balances the sanctity of life with the needs of science.
I do not think prolife people see the beauty of this solution. They get 92.5% of what they want, while medical researchers once and for all can test their collective theories on the medical utility of this approach.
Politics is the art of the possible rather than ideolgocal inflexibility.
Yes, someone has to pay the price for this research, but its limited.
In essence, politics its like Captain Pike in his quarters with the doctor in the pilot episode of Star Trek. Treat each person like a human being, but that's hard to do with some people on the left and the right.
