I forget if I mentioned this awhile back, but when I took an undergraduate course in political science way back when, our first exam consisted of fill-in-the blank questions like, "Who or what ultimately decides when life begins?" Etc., etc. The correct answer to every question was "government" or "politics." Whether or not we ever talk about it on this list, that's the bottom line to what's happening in medical research. Underscore that bottom line with a "bottom bottom" line (or a postscript): The people in government who make major decisions regarding life and death and health are greatly influenced by their personal religious beliefs. I don't mind if we talk about such things in an intelligent conversation; I just don't want to *argue* about them. Best wishes for wellness.
