HankHill, you have totally mis-typecast me. I am a fiscal conservative, social libertarian. If I had my way I would legalize elective euthanasia so anyone could choose the option of dying with dignity and without pain.My father suffered through 8 years of Alzheimer's and it is fate worse than torture. I got a call in the middle of the night telling me my father could no longer eat food - did I want a second tube down his throat so he would get nutrition. In other words, "Hey, son, do you want your sick father to live or die". I wish to hell they would have asked him that question when he still had a brain that functioned well enough so he could answer.There is no right or proper answer to stem cell research. Yes it will save lives and prevent suffering, but what are we going to do when all the diseases that kill people are cured? No one is talking about that!!If you want to "get right with your God" by somehow thinking you are saving lives by opposing stem cell research - then go right ahead and think that way. To my way of thinking that is so far off the primary issue of "do we cure all diseases or do we allow for death with honor"?I can see you and Chip and not yet made it to a course in "Advanced Thinking 101"
