Re: Stem Cells

Time for me to toss in my two cents:

I'm with Kevin. Government funding of science is too close to central planning for my economic libertarian blood. The free market should decide where limited research dollars should go. South Korea might take the lead in such research. So what? About a decade ago Japan's government went gung-ho with a certain high definition televison technology. They sputtered when other nations, such as the U.S., used a different technology. Government just doesn't have the knowledge to make good decisions.

Now, a pro-life case could be made that embryonic stem cell research should be banned. But no one is even whispering that.
