Many Americans consider murdering children obscene. Using government funds to murder children I call the estabishment of a religion. Only those with religious beliefs in their own self righteousness would force others to pay for the murder of innocent human life. This is a viewpoint that the vast majority of the public doesn't buy. Poll after poll shows it. You marginalize yourself as an extremist when you use this kind of rhetoric.

Well, if it is a good idea with merit, if it has an iota of promise, why must the public ..... fund it. I agree strongly with this. And I suspect that the promise of future results from stem cell research is quite large. But why should federal money be used in this research? The drug companies have the profit motivation, and the resources as well, to completely fund this research. There is no reason not to let private enterprise do this without government funding. I think Frist is wrong to support public funding.
