This three hour debate should be shown in philsophy classes in universities around the country. And in ethics courses at law schools and med schools.

It definitely is a clear cut debate between MORAL ABSOLUTISM (Republicans) vs. SITUATIONAL ETHICS (Democrats).

The Value of LIFE is inate and invaluable vs. the Value of LIFE is relative with respect to other factors such as convenience, cost, lifestyle, trouble, etc.

The Republicans may well be "Playing God", a charge brought by Democrats.

The Democrats are just plain 'Playing Adolf Eichmann'.
