But I know what's at stake for me. If there's a possible cure, I think you need to help people, as long as others aren't put at risk. But that's the point of the argument. Advocates of continued federal funding insist the risk of embryo farms would be far greater if the money is cut off. The government lays down rules for what it funds.
Federal law prohibits research on embryos.
But a stem cell is not defined as an embryo. My feelings about abortion are about the same as polls indicate they are for most Americans. I support choice, but with some restrictions, mostly relating to parental consent and late-term procedures. Now I've got things to live for. I try to walk every day, and I believe the research is getting extremely close.
