Why Bush's Stem Cell Position Makes no Sense 

Scott Rosenberg breaks down the fallacy of President Bush's position on stem cell research:

Scott Rosenberg's Links & Comment

If Bush and his administration truly believe that destroying an embryo is a kind of murder, they shouldn't be wasting their time arguing about research funding: They should immediately shut down every fertility clinic in the country, arrest the doctors and staff who operate them, and charge all the wannabe parents who have been wantonly slaughtering legions of the unborn.

Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Apparently it's okay to discard/destroy stem cells to create life via IVF, but using stem cells to prolong the lives/improve the health of humans is morally reprehensible? Amazing.
