I don't have to be a scientist to engage in discourse, just as you don't have to be a politician to rant about Bush.

Timm,
I don't know much about "adult stem cells".
The area of interest is embryonic stem cells.
The only thing that Bush did was limit the cell lines that can be investigated.
That's not science...that's politics.
Hmmm...any votes from the "religious right" out there?

btw...the article made no mention of "intelligent design". How quickly we forget!

You are still all over the map....Ask your son,then about them. It was in the news this week. Scientists want carte blanche with public funds....it cant happen like that any more. Everybody needs to account for expenses. WTH is with the I.D. crack? You obfuscate the real issues by your ceaseless rhetoric.

Timm,
At first I didn't even want to respond to you, because I know where you're coming from.
The title of this thread is "For Pgardn and other scientists".
Since you are neither, why did you respond other than to attack?
"Ceaseless rhetoric" indeed.
I'll wait until Pgardn weighs in, thank you very much.

You crack me up,really, under the guise of polite dicourse you run your agenda! If you want,specifically,someones' opinion, then you should avail yourself of the Private Message mode,ya think? I want to know what someone thinks, but not to disagree with me....that's what you're saying,DTS!

Timm,
OK...
Say your piece...type it all out.
I'll read it.

DTS: read what I said. If you put something up here,then you have got to realistically expect an answer to your post! That would be a fair assumption,right? To exclude those people who might possibly not share your views is to diminish this forum,imo!

ok...so be more specific with your "beef".
Do you disagree on stem cell research? Politicizing science? State your objections and your reasons.
I'll listen.
