Medical Miracle? or Moral Abomination?

"In California, voters authorized spending $3 billion over 10 years for embryonic stem cell research. A bipartisan Congress voted to ease federal restrictions, legislation which Bush vetoed. And opponents continued to push for a total ban on the research."

There is no question that embryonic stem cells have remarkable properties. They can grow indefinitely in the lab, and they can turn into any cell type in the body. But to obtain them, a human embryo must be destroyed.
Scientists first showed that it was possible to grow embryonic stem cells in 1998. 

The line has been drawn on a million planes, and still the world is torn apart on this subject - why?

Happy New Year! May 2010 bring wisdom to the masses!

Happy news years and may 2010 bring wisdom to all!

And boy are we going to need it! With all the backwards decisions being made, and all the craziness that 2009 embodied that is now (thankfully) in the past - what will 2010 bring?

Will health care reform actually get passed into legislation?
or
Will it rob this country blind of all it's worked for?

Will even one corrupt politician feel the slightest bit of guilt when selling us out to the highest bidder?
or
Will the cycle continue?

How many more celebrities are going to die?


Whatever it brings 2010 is sure to be a very interesting year - well all know how 2009 went, and personally I'd say it was the worst year in quite awhile. Common sense would tell us that it's almost got to be better - or can it get even worse?

Guess time will tell, I'll be paying attention that's for sure!

Obama's christmas gift - Health Care reform gets through the Senate

President Obama got his Christmas gift a little early as the Senate voted through the health care legislation in it's third and final procedural 'test run'

- Republican senators sought to frame the bill as a tarnished product of backroom deals, with some going so far as to declare it illegal. Despite strong opposition in the Senate and from a large part of the American citizens - Democrats were able to scrape together the 60 votes needed to "win" the vote, while not a single Republican supported the bill.
With final approval of the bill all but certain, Republicans on Wednesday focused on diminishing it in the eyes of the public. In particular, GOP senators questioned a deal struck by Sen. Ben Nelson (Nebraska) - who agreed to support the legislation in part because a provision was added exempting his state from paying part of the cost of expanding the Medicaid program.
