The best that can be said about embryonic stem cell research is that it is scientific exploration into the potential benefits of killing human beings.
The refusal to acknowledge the scientific value of embryonic stem cell research is one more tragic misstep.
Embryonic stem cell research wears no political stripes - it is embraced by conservatives, liberals, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.

The federal and state governments should ban the use of taxpayer funds to support cloning and embryonic stem cell research.
In a prime-time address, President Bush said he backed limited federal funding for stem cell research. That's right, the President said, this is a quote, the research could help cure brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and whatever it is I have.
There is an abundance of misinformation, exaggeration, and blatant lies being spread by interest groups regarding the prospects for embryonic stem cell research.
