He makes no good points and he contradicts himself. What he has done, is show himself to be without core values. I am still convinced that he did this because Bush let him, but I believe that only because Bush discovered that Frist has no spine long before the rest of us did.

There is no way to say that an embryo is human life, while agreeing to federally fund its destruction, while calling yourself "pro-life".

I think Bush just pushed him from the train, and we will soon get an announcement from Frist that he will NOT run for President in 2008. He can read polls, and probably already knows he has no chance.

I suspect that he's gotten all of his information from lobbyists and a surface smattering of the concept of what they want ESCs to do. The only reason to pursue embryonic stem cells is the concept that they are completely undifferentiated. That doesn't mean that it is necessary, or even practical to start there in the research process. So far all appearances are that adult stem cells are much better prepared for what we want to use them for, and ESCs are an unnecessary complication.
