The Stem Cell "Dilema"
In my opinion, the deeper issue requires an insight into how an "Inch" keeps turning into the horror mile.
The problem some people have with seeing the bigger picture is they are blinded by their personal hatred (distrust, dislike, whatever) of President Bush. Anyone who happens to agree is labelled a "fanatic" or "moron".
President Bush is not the only world leader deciding this.
"Germany Calls for EU-Wide Ban on Stem Cell Research" 2006-07-26 http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2106539,00.html
- Although stem cell research amounts to only a small portion of the
bloc's 51 billion euro ($64.3 billion) science budget for 2007 to 2013,
it is a highly controversial topic among the bloc's ministers and likely
to be subject to a heated debate during an EU science and research
ministers' meeting on Monday.
- "The European Union science program should not be used to give financial incentives to kill embryos," German Research Minister Annette Schavan wrote in a letter to the Finish EU presidency on Thursday, according to Reuters. "The current proposal from the European Commission and the European Parliament does not rule this out."
- Germany -- along with Austria, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Lithuania Luxembourg and Malta -- are against the notion that the bloc should provide money for projects in some countries if the same research is prohibited in other member states.
