Also, should ethics even be an issue when hESCs are drawn from frozen embryos?
Yes, yes. Indeed ethics are of importance. Only problem is with the question of what is more ethical? Is it more ethical to declare war on a country not at war with us, on false pretenses, or is it more ethical to prohibit destruction of fertilized human embryos to harvest Hemar poetic cells? Is it more ethical to prevent playing God or saving lives with embryonic stem cells or is it more ethical to go kill innocent men, women and children along with all those that are branded 'terrorists' - never mind if they really are or not. Is it more ethical to gloat over shock-and-awe over destruction of the innocent with the guilty while expressing shock over Godless scientists working on embryonic stem cells?
These are complicated issues. Hypocrisy of course is not something that one needs to bother with. Certainly not so, when with one neat label of "terrorists" we can cleanse our consciences of all guilt at snuffing out the innocent with the guilty, or those seen ming to be guilty.
Looks like the label has really caught on. Even back in the old country, poets and policemen, generals and governors, goons and the gentry, all are getting into the red-hot business of terrorist labeling, defining and hunting business with a vengeance.
Nothing like a good tide to wash-off all the dirt around us, isn't it?

The debate on stem cells has become an important issue in the Presidential campaign , the last debate, and the passing away of Chris Reeves.
While most of us have a basic understanding of SCs, and the Nat'l Institutes of Health in its website does answer most of the questions, one keeps wondering why the President is so opposed to something most scientists would agree its a good thing for a mirade of cures.
My understanding is that human embryonic stem cells (hESC) are the way to go. It seems that adult stem cells ie. hematopoietic stem cells,(HSCs) are the only ones available for research and hESCs research potential is stunted. Is the President just pandering to the religious right?
Maybe some netter (or genetist) with a better understanding can give us in layman terms what all this means. Also, should ethics even be an issue when hESCs are drawn from frozen embryos?
