This is on topic. You think they'd wait until the poor ba$tard is buried before they start whoring his name. Quote 'WHEN KERRY IS PRESIDENT, PEOPLE LIKE CHRISTOPHER REEVE ARE GOING TO WALK' -Sen. John Edwards

Ripsnort, I'd like to say how surprised I am at your stupidity... but I can't. Are you really saying that that was said after Reeve's death, as implied by your 'You think they'd wait until the poor ba$tard is buried before they start whoring his name...' statement?

New depths of Rip'n'bore reached if true!

Yea something is very wrong when abortion is so commonly used as retroactive birth control, and the promise of curing diseases is hindered by restrictions on embyotic stem cell research. It just makes absolutely no sense to me.

You don't keep up with current events, do you? Too many computer games?

Oh and Ripsnort..

>>You think they'd wait until the poor ba$tard is buried before they start whoring his name. <<

Christopher Reeves was a staunch liberal, and in fact was part of a freedom of speech group (People for the American Way or something like that). He also called Kerry Saturday and thanked him. I agree though, discussing his political ideology or using his death as politcal rhetoric seems to be in poor taste. But it is quite possible he ASKED them to push forward in his name - he was an tremendous lobbyist for stem cell research. I dunno, but its quite possible the Kerry campaign is working within the wishes of his family.

Could be, but knowing the Dems, they'd use their dead mothers' votes to get in office.

I think Stem Cell research should be allowed. why? Because it will do more good than harm. So someone at some point in time may decide to mess with cloning of humans. How terrible is that really. We already have people born as twins. Whats the potential harm. Its unethical to make a clone. How ethical is it to succumb to a disease. Can we have less gov and more science.

You dont have to not know how or about something to disallow it in law or society. You can research it for medical use and and ban cloning at the same time.

Good thinking 212, I tip my hat off to you.

With science anything is possible!

Too many computer games? Hardly. Too busy working/studying. I sadly don't have a job which allows me to surf the internet all day. Not a very cost effective way to run a company, you see.
