Neglecting Stem Cell Research
this entry brought to you by enon, "shave"
You know one thing I honestly don't understand about conservatives? Their aversion to stem cell research.
They call themselves patriots, but clearly they don't care enough about their country for it to get ahead. Stem cell research is ineviable. The only thing their support of pushing it back does is clinch the scenario that some other country beats us to it. And why would a so-called patriot willingly allow some other country to beat us to the punch in something as important as science?
Imagine how different the world would be if Italy had invented the steam engine. If Russia had invented the cotton gin. Imagine how different the world would be if the Japanese beat us to the nuclear bomb. If the Russians put a man on the moon first.
Imagine how different the world will be when China cures cancer.
