Today President Obama reversed George W. Bush's retarded ruling on stem cell research. Remember back in August 2001, Bush had to go back to the ranch and "think" about what to do about stem cell research? After a few days of deep thought and discussions with Jesus, he emerged with his mentally constipated ruling: No new lines of stem cells for research. Like a retarded Solomon, he "spilt the difference".Well, those days are over...
After eight years in the scientific wilderness, America returns to science and research. To those who say that they are "morally outraged", I say, "Shut up". You are holding the rest of us back. You say we are "playing God". But what about Dr. Jonas Salk? Was he playing God when he discovered the vaccine for polio? Why would the evil Dr. Salk try to alter the will of God? I mean, if there WAS polio, God must have known about it, right? And what about the geniuses who invent working artificial limbs for soldiers injured in Iraq? Are they "playing God"? God must have wanted them to get a limb or two blown off, right? Who are these scientists to go against the will of Allah?
I do not agree with President Obama when he says he respects the view of those who disagree. Let's face it, most embryos stored at in-vitro fertilization clinics wind up in the trash. Less than 1% are brought to term and adopted. 99% of unused embryos are thrown away. So let's do away with the myth that embryos are being unnecessarily destroyed. There is a perfectly good reason for them to be destroyed - for scientific research! To save lives of actual people, not smudges on a microscopic slide!
Throughout history, there have been two types of nations, those that put religion first and those that put science first. If you want to see what happens when nations put religion first, see: Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iran, etc. Essentially, you get a decrease in human rights and/or an increase in death and destruction. So to my pro-life, anti-science friends, I say, let us return to the fold of forward-thinking, civilized, scientifically advanced nations. And if you disagree, just shut up. The next eight years will be a looooong stretch for you (yes, I said eight years). By the way, let's attach a provision to this legislation that ensures that people who are against this research will not be allowed to benefit from it when advancements in human health are achieved through it.
Republicans responded to President Obama'a Executive Order by saying that they would immediately give all embryos additional tax cuts.
