Your response is a science only approach. I am discussing ethical
issues. When you look at the people supporting the scientific argument,
their life work is science not ethics. The article you cite, also
contains a defense clause which discredits the intellectual honesty of
the author. It is as follows:


/Blind loyalists to the president will dismiss the UCS report
because that organization often tilts left--never mind that some of
those signatories are conservatives. /

Such a statement is designed to stifle open discussion, by putting
everyone who disagrees in a biased box.

This issue bridges science and ethics. Those who support it dismiss the
ethical issues. Those who oppose embryonic stem cell research are
focusing on the ethical issues. I believe that science must heed to the
ethical issues. It is dangerous for ethics to heed to science.

You can cite all the science and scientists you want to, that is not
relevant to my argument.

Here is an article that discusses the whole issue of stem cell research,
not just the ethical/moral aspects:

...follow the money!!!


1) It's not possible to top-post and claim to have your head where you
say it is.

2) You're creating a false dichotomy by suggesting that scientists can't
be just as concerned with ethics as they are with science, and false
dichotomy is either a very stupid or very deceitful way to argue.

3) You want to talk about bias and then post a link to a Fox News
article...????
