New Stem Cell Guidelines Disappoint Both Scientists and Religious Conservatives

The debate is over!!
An embryonic stem cell company Advanced Cell Technology (ACTC) has shown they can create stem cell lines without destroy the embryo. The technique is similiar to what IV clinics do now to test for gene abnormalities. They remove a single cell without harming the embryo.
They proved this back in August of 2006 and have perfected it as announced January 11, 2008.
They are the perfect solution. People are just unaware of their technology as they are still a growing company.

Calling Doug Kmiec a social conservative is like calling black white. The man has abandoned his faith for 30 pieces of sliver (in this case a night at the White House).

This is a grey area. Many agree or disagree with stem cell research. I personally am for it. People to look at stem cell research properly before judging it. To know what it is truly about. People also need to look at the President's job more thoroughly. They need to understand that it's not that hard and you can't please everybody. Especially religious groups who base their evidence/opinions on what exactly?

remain like this, I will not be thoroughly happy, but I will give credit to Kmiec if his lobbying efforts led to this moderation. It is still unacceptable from a Catholic point of view, in my opinion, but it is better than I expected. And like I said, we'll see if it holds. Still, for the time being, credit where credit is due.

Obama has taken a CENTRIST position in this and neither the left or right factions are pleased. This is likely to happen again and again on a lot of issues.
