"Do you truly believe that babies are being killed for embryonic stem cell research?" Embryo = fertilized = life. Do you really believe that killing life is not killing life? For that matter both sperm and ovum are alive. Killing life for the potential of causing cancer in another being seems like a bad trade off. "at the start of any line of research, there are often long periods of time before it bears fruit. " Is it your position that research on adult stem cell research started considerably before research on embryonic stem cells? Intuitively, I would assume that is reversed. It is my belief that embryonic stem cell research was the start and that after it was started people began branching off and researching adult stem cells. So how much good money does the government have to throw after the private firms' bad money to satisfy? The debate is not about whether private firms can invest in medical research, it is about whether the government should be forced to fund what private firms are prudent enough to avoid.
