my letter in the NC Times today" "Doris Hayes' Aug 28 letter is why both George Bush and John Kerry don't get into the details of the issue. Perhaps she represents the average voter who understands neither science nor stem cell research. She didn't get a clue from the fair and balanced articlce in your paper she cites, let alone my letter on stem cell types or Gina Burdge's Community Forum on this subject. The big argument is a moral, not a scientific, one. The question is whether these undifferentiated cells are people or not Morality is being used to trump the pragmatism of science. In vitro fertilization works, so very few people really care that embryos are destroyed in the process. When the United Kingdom or South Korea get a cure for diabetes, this debate will be over. Please, let's leave science to the scientists, who overwhelmingly support more research, and understand it.
