Stem Cell Research

Call me crazy, but I'm for it. Parkinson's, Hotchkin's, heart defects, liver problems, lung problems, almost every degenerative disorder known to man will be affected and eventually cured due to stem cell research.

Now before you get picky, I never went to medical school, so don't be a jerk.

Everyone ties Stem Cell Research in with abortion, or cloning, or some other insidious anti-right-wing activity, and I grow weary. We have been given an opportunity to make giant leaps and bounds on the scientific front, and religious ferver and partisan politics are getting in the way. If someday they could replace your heart with, well, your heart, what are the odds your body would reject it? Part of the responsibility of our government is to look after the welfare of the public. Squashing Stem Cell research at this point in the game is not only preventing the advancement of science, but also dashing the hopes of millions of people world-wide.

People always resist the next step in science on moral or religious grounds. This is simply the next step, people. Stop repeating the silly parts of history already.
