This is from one of Murray's posts: - don't blame him, please "Dr. Melton's passion is kindled, in part, by his two children with diabetes, where stem-cell research holds enormous promise. The Bush policy, he adds, is having a "chilling effect on the field." I don't personally think I will live long enough to benefit from a cure that would certainly in the long un be a lot cheaper than our present health care system. This seems like such a no-brainer and rush back to the Middle Ages. Again, whose life do I take with SCNT- an unfertilized egg and my own DNA? Also, why do so many anti-SCNTers not oppose fertility clinics? I had an email argument once with an anti-abortionist who thought every in vitro embryo became a person. He did know that fetal cell research had been involved in the development of vaccines for childhood diseases, so he didn't have his kids vaccinated. As a teacher I was very respectful of my student's views; Unfortunately, I have a lot less patience with adults., I feel like they should be able to take the heat. Also our debates in my classes were not re personal life and death issues.
