Question for anyone who happens to be a Bush Supporter.....

Not trying to start a shouting match here, I truly want to understand the rationale behind banning using the frozen embryos for stem cell research.

Now, I know people adopting those embryos would be great and all but, that only happens to a small percentage of the embryos that are frozen. Also, in many instances, the woman trying to get pregnant from a frozen embryo must go through 5 or 6 of them before one actually survive.

Of the frozen embryos out there only about 10% will actually survive when implanted in a woman's womb.

Also, EVERY frozen embryo UNLESS adopted will be discarded by the hospital after a certain amount of time anyways.

So given these facts, why not use these embryos? If somebody wants to adopt one, great! Let them have it. But if the hospital is about to toss an embryo in the trash ANYWAYS, why not give it to stem cell research instead?

Whoops, meant to put this in the lounge. Sorry.

I cant understand this for the life of me...Imagine in 5 years that France finds a cure for alzheimers disease...what are we going to think of this president and this administration if we have to go to a foreign country to save our mother or father or one maybe our own self...

Bush talks about how you can't ignore technology when he refers to the pipeline in Alaska...well cmon W-it works both ways...stem cell research-how can you ignore this technology...

Stem cell is the gateway to so many things and you can't regulate science like this administration wants too, someone somewhere will develop these groundbreaking technologies that will improve our quality of life forever...as it stands now we will have to go to a foreign country if we are looking for that cure because this administration is ignoring the technolgy.
