It is increasingly difficult to reconcile President Bush's stance that an Embryonic Stem Cell is life. He is completely willing to send an adult to death (by duty or sentence), but a zygote (a cellular human), or a declared human (a yet to be born fetus), is morally protected. What a guy!!!

You're confused. The President has never taken the stance that an embryonic stem cell is life. His position is that to get new lines of stem cells, you need to harvest them from new, genetically unique embryos. It's the embryos that represent life.

It is not an apt comparison to sending adults (from a 100% volunteer military, mind you) to fight and possibly to die in Iraq.

Do you believe anything is worth fighting, and dying for?
