I must say, I am disappointed that the Dems pushed through a new stem cell law. I have a serious problem with the government spending money that results in the destruction of human embryos. I'm not positive if these embryos are human life or not, but the fact that I am not means that I must err on the side of caution and oppose their destruction as murder.
Honestly, I don't see the need to federally fund embryonic stem cell research. It seems like everyone else is doing it, so why does the federal government need to? The advances in adult stem cell research in the US has been very interesting and could potentially be more rewarding, espicially if the US gets a leg up on the rest of the world. I know, I know, embryonic looks "more promising," but in the first serious bioethics debate of the 21st century lets err on the side of caution, espicially when the downside is so low.
