Comments on Federally Funded Human Embryonic Stem Cells

You must really hate babies to want so badly for our government to murder them, Jonathan. Why do you hate babies?

Bush hates science. There was a thing in the New Yorker 6-12 months ago where one of his totally political appointees said something like "we're on the verge of huge breakthroughs; in five years there will be no cancer at all." Which is of course completely absurd (unfortunately.)

Experts consulted in the article thought that perhaps he said it as part of an effort to set expectations so high that when they underdeliver, people will respond with less trust in science.

George W. Bush: pure fucking evil.

Jonathan, do you want my eggs? You can have them. But yr going to have to come get them.

The president's infinite wisdom is compounded by his uncanny soothsaying ability. Remember the threat of "human-animal hybrids" he railed against in his Jan. '06 State o' the Union?

Well, the British Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (clearly the enemy of life and good morals everywhere) "have agreed in principle to allow human-embryo embryos to be created and used for research. ... Scientists want to create hybrid embryos by merging human cells with animal eggs in a bid to extract stem cells. The embryos would then be destroyed within 14 days."

"In principle" means that scientists still have to make individual applications. I imagine there is a check box on that form somewhere for "Yes, I pinky-swear to chuck everything after two weeks. For real."

Including typical BBC scary headline, complete with air quotes: "'Human-animal' embryo green light."

@2 - not just science, he also hates black people.

Will, does he hate black evangelical millionaires?

I always thought it was all about (1) faith and (2) class with that evil prick. I know his dad (vis: Wille Horton) and his mom (vis: her very own mixed-race grandchildren) hate black people, but I always thought he was more singularly focused in his hatred.

Good question. I think he likes them if they bail him out of jail and give him money.

Considering how inbred shrub's own genetic line probably is, it makes perfect sense that he'd only support research on stem cells from equally inbred sources.

$2 million a year for five years is worth putting up with the feds' bullshit?

re: 3. Yah, what if people want to donate their eggs and things for research, is that possible? God I hate the president for so many reasons. Good luck with your research!!!
