as far as stem cell research, i would respect the conservative view more if it were consistent. the problem is that that genenic material can't be used for research because it kills a future life, right?
what about the same material being used in the myriad ways we artificially inseminate? lots of byproduct that gets flushed in those processes...
if the end justified the means, then stem cell research should be ok also. genetic goo is either to valuable to use for any purpose, or it's valuable if the end result is valuable. either way, picking on only stem cell research is hypocritical.
it's not just a political football, is it?
