The only reason there isn't federal funding for this yet is that Bush and the big pharm companies haven't figured out how to make money on it yet. Can you imagine a world where every person's cells could be used to heal? What "medicines" would they lobby and band together to "protect" and charge us immoral prices for then? They don't want cures, they want profits.

The only thing immoral about embryonic research is not doing it and discard with arrogance the best resources God has put in our hands to help people with serious illnesses in our society, and then claim to do so in His name. We've been given the tools to create miracles but some would rather shut their eyes and say "nah, I don't like all the parts of this miracle, send me another" instead of thanking Him and doing the best we can with those embryonic cells.

When I see Michael J. Fox, courage does not come to mind. I think he is a desperate individual who is suffering greatly and is concerned about helping himself just as anyone would be in his situation. What he is doing takes no courage in my opinion. I do not think he should be regarded as some couragous hero who is fighting for the advancement of american science/health out of the goodness of his heart.

Rush vs. Michael aside, this issue is really about embryonic vs. adult stem cell research. Embryonic research is immoral because even science does not dispute that human life begins at conception. Creating and destroying human life in the lab, no matter how worthy the reason, is wrong because it terminates a human life. Adult stem cell research moral because human life is not sacrificed to do it. I am a 30 year diabetic,but I do not want a cure which comes at the expense of innocent human life.

I really thought name calling and making fun of people of differnce had been left to the school yard... My kids (7 & 8) saw Rush and were upset that he was being a bully. Looks like it has left the school yard but now the bullies are grown up and wear suits.

I wish, I could be there and HUG Micheal, not with pity, but all my respect for a great person in every way. Rush is the one to pity.
