The world's overpopulated as it is. There's nothing noble about clinging to life. Live it while you have the chance, don't try to beat nature.
Exactly, another life lesson is don't set expecations too high. Everyone's thinking stem-cells are going to be this massive magick thing that solves all the worlds problems, and that's bullcrap. Besides, do people think
they are going to have access to stem-cells? Hell no. Only the rich and powerful will. The rest of us will have to deal with what we got just as we do now. At most might have infrior, state-sanctioned stemcells coverd by taxes.
I myself have nothing against stem-cell research, I figure the fetus is dead anyway, so may as well put use to the dead. (It's hard being pro-life but pro-stem cell.) But the republicans make a good point, knowing democrats like we do. They abuse any little power you give them. If we issued legit stem-cell research with dead fetuses, they'd just use it to encourage abortion, and furthermore, harvest clones. And if Spiderman taught us anything; We don't want clones!
And whenever a democrat is backed into a wall with that suspicioun they're like some cheesy cartoon supervillain "why uhh--that's perposterous! Heeheehee.." Pathetic.
