Rayilyn, You post so much good material that it is often difficult to digest it all. The recent post concerning polio includes what I consider to be a "clincher" argument for stem cell research. Let me repeat two paragraphs of that post in hopes that more "skimmers," such as I usually am, will pick it up and possibly read the entire editorial: >I was surprised. I never knew that the initial research that ultimately led >to the defeat of polio was based upon experiments on aborted fetal tissue. >I wonder. To what degree is the "religious right" aware? And if they were >to become aware, would that awareness manifest as some religious uprising >against the use of polio vaccine? Would some parents refuse to get their >children vaccinated as a form of protest? >Almost no one today refuses polio vaccination for their children on the >grounds that they object to the methods used in the first experiments. I >would point out that even President Bush has been willing to use the >harmless downstream results of research to which he objects."
