and much like any other topic, some scientists think there is potential with embryonic cells, some think adult stem cells are just as good a thing to work with.
as to when life begins, good luck settling that one.
as to how bush thinks, well...good luck with that one too. it's my understanding god tells him what to do, according to george. so how can you argue with that?

Bolded:
This is what "we" are trying to determine. Since a prospective definition has been laid down.
The fed tax dollars is understood. It is the reasoning concerning why federal tax dollars will not be used in this research. And it was posited federal tax dollars will not be used because the research involves a human life. Federal tax dollars are used for a multitude of projects with cells of all types. So there is a specific type of human cell or cells that cannot be used.
A boundary has been established based on human life. We all want to know, no check that, I want to know how the boundary was established. Babs is giving his criteria. I think his might be pretty close to what many people have used that rejected fed. funding for this type of research (Bush was of course briefed on this, I assume, by people who have pondered the definition of a human life)
