Stem Cell research is rapidly becoming the 'Global Warming' issue of the new millenium. Supporters of embryonic stem cell research do not let the facts get in the way of their rhetoric. Just like educated skeptics of global warming are villified by the likes of 'experts' such as Al Gore, those who actually know what they are talking about, the author of this article for example, are shouted down by the likes of 'experts' such as Michael J Fox. Emotions trump reason in this debate, just as they do in the Global Warming iusse.
Exactly right!
All too often, emotions trump reason in any debate.
