I don't see how Frist can approve of in vitro fertilization, which has resulted in the biting the dust of, discarding of and just plain failure of thousands of extra embryos created for the purpose of reproduction and still oppose therapeutic cloning. His stem cell research support is quite limited and weak. How different in terms of "personhood" is a blastocyst and a heart which he has transplanted? We will have wait for certain persons in power to assign social security numbers to undiffereniated cells of unknown gender and hope the Brits come through again. Let's keep the heat on Bush, Frist and all these people who are more concerned with non-existentent entities than living people to come up with something else if this does not please them. How many "cures" have there been in this century, discounting polio and childhood diseases developed, I understand, with embryonic research? Isn't it about time for some action?
