Rick, I'm only reporting what I read. The pundits will speculate about Frist's motives. We do know he first supported ESCR, then Bush's position, now is breaking with him. Obviously, I don't like him (as I believe is my right) or his erroneous TV diagnosis of Terri Schiavo. There are several bills waiting for a hearing, remember I emailed re Senator Roscoe Bartlett's bill based on an idea (no research at all)that would not involve the creation of embryos. The other bills involve proposals to get around creating embryos, but not banning IVF. Some observers also think this will be a diversion in the Senate away from HR 810, the passed House bill that called for expanded funding for research on the embryos in limbo in IVF clinics. In the meantime, South Korea, China, Singapore, Israel and the UK are full stem ahead. Gerry and Mother Teresa, I signed a petition thanking Frist, did you? Be sure to exercise your right of free speech.
