Read my post about irony.
The research is not halted, it is controlled.
And the only control is from direct Federal involvement under specific circumstances.
The ethical does impact the practical.
I happen to think I would have possibly gone a little bit faster, but I think since the research is progressing, is not at all clearly going to be beneficial, and the cells currently claimed to be required may in fact not be at all, that Bush has taken a moderate stance.
Unlike clinton who simply banned cloning of humans.
In fact, the more I look at the real issues, it seems the primary focus of anger is, like the dem rage was over 1998 Iraq vs. today's, simply that dems are not the ones making the deicisions.
Too friggin' bad.
