Obama's 'Science' Fiction

Last week, the White House invited me to a signing ceremony overturning the Bush (43) executive order on stem cell research. I assume this was because I have long argued in these columns and during my five years on the President's Council on Bioethics that, contrary to the Bush policy, federal funding should be extended to research on embryonic stem cell lines derived from discarded embryos in fertility clinics.

I declined to attend. Once you show your face at these things you become a tacit endorser of whatever they spring. My caution was vindicated.

President Bush had restricted federal funding for embryonic stem cell research to cells derived from embryos that had already been destroyed (as of his speech of Aug. 9, 2001). While I favor moving that moral line to additionally permit the use of spare fertility clinic embryos, President Obama replaced it with no line at all. He pointedly left open the creation of cloned -- and noncloned sperm-and-egg-derived -- human embryos solely for the purpose of dismemberment and use for parts.

This is not just intellectual laziness. It is the moral arrogance of a man who continuously dismisses his critics as ideological while he is guided exclusively by pragmatism (in economics, social policy, foreign policy) and science in medical ethics.

What! WA Post columnist would dare disagree obozo the messiah on anything? Very surprising. Wonder if mainstream media is finally getting its cerebral cortex out of its gluteous maximum and smelling what’s being shoveled at them?

Obama is not a pragmatist, he is far more ideological than anyone in the White House in a long time, if ever.

Alas, his ideology is neo-marxist leftism.

Mr. Krauthammer better watch himself or that little weasel Robert Gibbs might be told to dump him out of his wheelchair the next time he sees him.

Every thing about Obozo is a "fiction". We honestly do not know what his real name is.

Embryonic stem cells can't cure a damn thing--and are only good for you if you happen to be a cancer. We should quit presuming that there is any science or pragmatism behind the research into them.

Adult stem cells are a great success. But what do you get when you put embryonic stem cells into a person---tumors! Just tumors! Why the heck should we invest public tax money into promoting hyped up B.S?

Reminds me of the people presuming that there is miracle cure potential in some ingredient derived from an endangered species. Seems like the only reason the idiot left wants to invest in this asinine "technology" is that it pisses off people who think life is sacred.

Obambi continues his war on life and the unborn by killing babies, unrestrained abortion and now unlimited stem cell research. What next human cloning? I think playing God has gone to Obambi’s head.

You’re not familiar with Charles Krauthammer?

He may stray occasionally, but he’s one of ours.

They`re too lazy (or stupid) to read their own pork bills!
