In any case, the whole issue will be moot in short order: For the first time, researchers have captured from the skin of adult mice and humans stem cells capable of growing into brain cells and a range of other tissues. Top Stories The feat offers new hope for treating neurological disorders, and comfort to President Bush, who last week set strict limits on publicly funded U.S. research using stem cells derived from human embryos, which are destroyed when the powerful cells are extracted. . . . washtimes.com

Good article DMA. One question about "One must not cooperate with the wrong, one must not enable the wrong, and one must not provide inducements for the wrong." Private stem cell research will continue, including destruction of new embryos and creation of new lines of stem cells. Then after these new lines are created, the destruction of the embryos will have already happened. I guess if this is the once an for all decision that "We will fund research on these embryonic stem cells and not others" then no inducements are provided however and you could say we are not cooperating or enabling the wrong. However if you keep applying Bush's same reasoning to any new line of stem cells then it would seem we would be atleast providing inducements for the wrong if not actively enabling it. Tim
