A thought for you ~ we've only really had a good grasp of mammalian reproduction for about one century.

Old folk tales and superstitions continue to rule the stage for most people in that regard.

Newt is educable ~ or maybe he's not ~ we know, for example, that the Planned Parenthood people are ineducable ~ they know what they like to kill.

So, we could hold a debate on the topic and see which candidate has the best grasp on reproduction and killing.

I agree with you, and also one must understand the bigger of picture of how Newt thinks on the subject of health care.

He has said many times that treating a disease is far more expensive than curing the disease.

The treatment of Alzheimer’s is costing us billions per year without affecting the overall quality of the individual. Yet, Newt says that if we had a full assault on finding a cure for the disease like we did for Polio, it would cost far less over all.

Would anyone here deny that science look at a viable cure under every rock? In 2001 there was an erroneous idea that embryonic stem cell research was the panacea of all human illness. We know now that they are not, and that the same value if not more can be gleaned from adult stem cells, but are we going to condemn the politician or scientist who didn’t understand that then?

What’s more what if embryonic cell research done in other countries resulted in wide spread cures for cancer, brain disorders, paraplegia, congenital defects, even hair loss (:-) ). We all know that humans from all over the world would be clamoring for this knowledge and science.

Thank God, that stem cells are a better source.
