the problem with Bush & Co's arguments against stem cell research is that their logic is nonexistant.
They say "we dont' want you destroying embryos in order to do research, so we're making it illegal."
But then they don't say "we don't want you creating dozens of embryos, picking one to implant in a woman, and destroying the rest, so we're making fertility clinics illegal."
Fertility clinics destroy scores of embryos for every one they implant in a womb. Why is this not considered evil?
Either destroying embryos is wrong or it is not. If it's wrong, then it's just as wrong for fertility clinics to do it as it is for scientific research to do it.
If fertility clinics are not immoral, then neither is stem cell research.
