And never mind that the embryos at issue are those left over from in-vitro procedures at pregnancy clinics and would be destroyed in any event.

Plus stem cells that are found in abundance in placenta. To make the statement that stem-cells are found in fetus's; therefore we will not do work with stem-cells is short-sighted and foolish. If the gov't wishes to restrict the 'sources' of stem-cells to prevent an abortion industry, fine. But to non-fund a means in which we may gain medical knowlege is flawed. Much like insulin, in time we need not kill or 'harvest' from animals in order to get what is needed. But, first we must understand what is going on.

I agree. The biggest problem seems to be the people on both sides of this issue are "all or nothing" people.
