Really, this sniping is out of hand. "Mother Teresa." Yuck. This group is meant to be a support to one another and to our shared cause. Who will support us if we can't be civil and caring amongst ourselves? I'm sure you all know that people monitor lists like these and take in the general tone. We should comport ourselves as we would like to be thought of in the wider world.

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.
