Is that the one that pretends to support stem cell research but actually authorizes cloning? (Sorry I'm a little vague on it; I don't live in Missouri and haven't been following it very closely).
But to be clear on the underlying question, I support stem cell research to the extent President Bush does. As far as I have been able to discern, all the advances in stem cell research have come through the use of adult stem cells or neonatal stem cells, and nothing at all of any use has resulted from embryonic stem cells. By "of any use," I mean anything successful.
Michael Fumento has done some excellent reporting on this subject.
I do not support human cloning, and I most certainly do not support government funding for human cloning.
Then we are in total agreement on those issues.
But the amendment is more odious than that. It writes into the constitution a section that forbids the legislature from having any control over the 6 billion Misssourian dollars going to fund human cloning. That section of the amendment is breathtaking in its reach, unAmerican and downright fascist.
But the worst part is the section of the science community and liberals who have banded together to try to push this through the process as a constitutional amendment by half truths, dissembling and outright lies.
And the science community wonders why there is friction between science and religion? Oyvey.
