Something Pastors need to be ‘up on’, ping.

It will NOT be behind us because cures for diseases and ailments is not the driving force behind the drive to legalize cloning embryos. The enshrining of the principle that some humans may be killed for the benefit of other humans is the principle behind this. The right to define particular groups of human beings as not worthy of life is at stake.

Hooray, Bishops are applauding this here: USCCB Statement

Thanks for the Ping. Good info and links too. I heard Barns too last night of Fox and his comments that the libs still wouldn't accept this as a breakthrough because of its relationship to abortion. Krauthammer pretty much said that this the the "Big Boy" of stem cell research.

Thanks again,

Wiley

It is great news, for everybody.

Bush does deserve a great deal of credit for holding the line on this issue - it was his policies that caused the NIH to help fund this research. As disenchanted as many conservatives are with the President, he gets a big, fat tick mark for this one.

Thanks for the ping.

That is true; there is a lot of money behond embryonic stem cell research, and that money will not lay down and take this news quietly.

Still, this gives us a strategic weapon in the war against that agenda - one that, if this technique pans out, will ultimately prove decisive.
