LJ’s Back! asked:
In the past week Joe Biden asked why Sarah Palin doesn’t support stemcell research if she says she supports disabled children. Obama makes a gaffe on ABC and says he’s a muslim. Obama then goes on the O’Reilly factor and says the surge worked beyond his wildest dreams. What??? That seems like a bit different than what he was saying in the primaries. Now, there is the Obama-Palin pig controversy. Obama says he was just making a joke at the GOPs economic plan. Several reporters have said that the crowd went wild when he made the pig comment, so the crowd surely thought he was talking about Palin. Whether or not he was, it seems obvious that the Obama campaign has been off-message a lot recently and are really dancing on the edge of a cliff. Anyone else see the same thing?
Eric S asked: What makes you not just think and argue things like these:
Look, Liberals care about poor people. They want to pass legislation to help people in need, they want to make the public functions of our government better, for the benefit of all.
And they care about great scientific advances like embryonic stemcell research, better environmental conditions through EPA legislation. Hilary Clinton could be the first female president ever!
Arguments like these for example.
You could have so much more power in the poorest Americans if they had more government benefits to turn to.
What makes you say no no no no no? Not to take sides here.
Simply put, how would you describe what it’s like to be a Liberal? From a Republican perspective?
Dakrajere asked: I am in need of a number of sites of which my friend may aquire knowledge of the positive effects of stem cell research. Repeat on this you may place information of your own accord on this or place a list of sites or a single site of which could contain information on the subject. I personally am neutral on this subject and hold no strong feelings either way but hes stuck doing this for a research project in agreement to the subject.
The information if possible should include say things of which stemcell research may cure or provide large medical benifit towards.
Thank you.
GobleyGook asked: If God gave us dominion over all the earth, then doesn’t that give us the right to use science for our will?
Such as with cloning and stemcell research?
How are we “playing god” when God made us in his image, to use life as he does. To help create better lives for all the living. Just like God….

I have a final paper thats due in like 3 weeks and I need to start, it has to be in MLA format, and be only be 5-6 pages, so I need a good topic, im tired of the same old cloning, and stemcell research suggestions people keep giving me!!!!!
The angels have the Arc Light. asked: “BOSTON (Reuters) – Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a 2008 Republican presidential hopeful, said on Thursday his administration’s new restrictions on stem cell research are aimed at heading off an “Orwellian” future.”
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=healthNews&storyID=2006-09-01T161039Z_01_KNE158193_RTRUKOC_0_US-STEMCELL-RESEARCH.xml&archived=False
Orwell’s _1984_ is about the government controlling the people by controlling and manipulating information, so “Orwellian” would be apt for the current U.S. regime, not stem cell research.
I’m guessing that Romney meant to refer to a future akin to Huxley’s _Brave New World_, not _1984_. I don’t see that as being accurate either, just less completely off-base. Any comments? Do you agree or disagree and why, please.
The second part of my question is about the use of language — Romney uses this dark word “Orwellian” to paint SCR with fear and mystery. How do you see that?
Oh, and should a prospective Presidential candidate get points for attempting a literary reference, even if he got the wrong one?
Given the underwhelming response to this question, it appears that Aldous Huxley is quite out of fashion. That’s a loss, he’s a great writer who’s well worth reading.

Jacquot- Un chat furieux asked: I happen to be a type 1 Diabetic. Will I have the pleasure and joy of having some limbs chopped off and a couple of sexy strokes because the sky daddy wouldn’t want scientists to touch the petri dish?

Heck, maybe I got Type 1 Diabetes because Jesus was mad at me, so this might be my fault all of the way. Was it the Playboy I bought when I was 17?
Meg M asked: It has been claimed here that the Catholic Church opposes stem cell research (I’m looking at you, Dude). What the Church REALLY opposes is the killing of human embryos, NOT stem cell research itself. The Church is supportive of stem cell research that does not involve the destruction of human beings.
