Why?

I’d be really curious to hear someone attempt to explain, without going to Biblical sources and speculations about when life begins, why I should agree with the President’s veto of the stem cell research bill. Because honestly, there seem to be far more articles written from the other side that are a lot more convincing to me.

I find appalling the posturing about the morality of working with cells that were created in petri dishes that would otherwise be discarded. I find it especially appalling when it comes from the mouths of people who think it’s OK to vote on someone else’s marriage or to send our young people to die in Iraq on the basis of trumped up intelligence.
