This post may not interest all of you, but perhaps some. This is a great article, written by Charles Krauthammer (perhaps my favorite political columnist, who happens to be a medical doctor). An attaboy should go out to Dubya:
“…what Bush got right was to insist, in the face of enormous popular and scientific opposition, on drawing a line at all, on requiring that scientific imperative be balanced by moral considerations.”
And it is nice, when the admittedly secular Krauthammer points to the only true Vindicator (whether he knows he is doing it or not):
“…the moral disquiet that James Thomson always felt — and that George Bush forced the country to confront — helped lead him and others to find some ethically neutral way to produce stem cells. Providence then saw to it that the technique be so elegant and beautiful that scientific reasons alone will now incline even the most willful researchers to leave the human embryo alone.”
Let’s just hope Krauthammer is right.
