Do you know enough about that research to favor committing your federal tax dollars to support it? I sure don't. Have you been assured that there are sufficient moral and ethical protections of human life in embryonic versus adult stem cell research to support it with all Americans' federal tax dollars? I sure haven't. And I think you're being a little extreme yourself in saying that only the "social conservative extreme right wing" supported the decision. Its a lot more than that.

That's enough, don't drag me into these debates anymore. You'll just get me in trouble.
You're right, the bill has nothing to do with banning stem cell research of any kind. Its about using federal funds to fund the reseacrh. Spence can do research on embryos 24/7 if he so chooses. He just wont get any money from the feds.
