Its as simple and irrefutable as that.

Dr. Blackburn expressed her concerns (and the concerns of other dissenting Council members) with two reports.


It is unethical and dishonest that those concerns will not be part of the permanent reports and records of the Council, but rather had to be expressed externally by a Council member thus reinforcing the FACT that the Council did not live up to its mission.
O.k. I look at her first objection:

In the discussions of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, the specter of designer babies is raised by implying that selecting embryos for intelligence and other traits, such as temperament is a possibility. Scientifically, this simply is highly unlikely and indeed may not even be feasible. While such scientific unlikelihood is mentioned in passing in the report, it is easy to take away from the report the feeling that such genetic manipulation will happen and is even imminent.

She says her concern was in the report. it just wasn't in the report the way she wanted it to be. What is it? Was her view ignored? She also states the amount of difficulty she had even accepting the position given Bush's views. It seems that she may have had a burr in her saddle from the very beginning and was possibly going to find something anything to complain about. You and others seem to think she is more credible than the others, based on my research I put my trust in the others.

But you know it is bullshit. You complain about not enough facts and when presented with facts you don't have the time. I have your number, it was worth it.
