4,000 Scientists Sign Anti-Bush Statement
The Associated Press reports that over 4,000 scientists, which includes 48 Nobel Prize winners, have signed a statement "opposing the Bush administration's use of scientific advice." Why? Because of the President's limits on embryonic stem-cell research. This comes on the tail of the 48 Nobel Prize winning scientists endorsing John Kerry for President and criticizing President Bush in a letter which was released by Kerry's campaign in June, stating, "The Bush administration has ignored unbiased scientific advice in the policy-making that is so important to our collective welfare. John Kerry will change all this." So, what's this really all about? Timing and agenda, of course. The statement by the 4,000 scientists, the letter of endorsement by the 48 Nobel Prize winners, and the public endorsement of lifting the limit on stem cell research by Ron Reagan at the DNC convention are designed to defeat President Bush in the election. It is safe to say Kerry and Bush are on opposite sides of this issue. What do the Bush limits comprise? It's not just about funding. Read more.
Weekend movie suggestion? Check out Gattica. It's about two brothers, one a "love child" the other genetically ordered. Is this 1997 film, about genetic engineering to overcome predispositions to disease, "prophetic" like some say "1984" was? Read more on movie.

Thank Goodness for Bloggs!!! I am reminded of a saying: They can't see the forest for the trees! OR in this case can't ( or will not ) see the dangers for the Doller $$ signs!! They may be better educated and even smarter but will not consider all the posible problems not to mention who will be killed for this? After all we are speaking of human lives here!
Wake up USA!!
I think we need to get the word out more on this issue. With 70% of Americans thinking it's okay they can't possibly know what this really means. Selling tissue and body parts of aborted embryos is barbaric!

Have you seen Minority Report about artificial intelligence. I read in time magazine awhile back that Tom Cruise and the movie and some of his personal life with the Church of Scientology founded by science-fiction novelist L.Ron Hubbard...strange mix.
