So saving lives is not a good motive, but not spending money IS?

Is that what you meant to say? Or am I misunderstanding you?

I truly believe that embryonic stem cell research is a regrettable lesser of two evils. What you would characterize as saving lives I view as utilizing a new creation that would otherwise be thrown away in the garbage. Hey I am pro-life. I don't even qualify if the mother has been raped or it is incest ( is that the child's fault ?!). I think the competing considerations here are just too great . I respect your views but i think there needs to be a time where one has to be pragmatic especially since the embryos are being thrown in the trash anyway.
