Time Magazine Laments Science Moving Past Stem Cell Research
Posted by Dave Blount at November 30, 2007 7:42 AM
Scientists have discovered how to use normal skin cells for the sort of research that liberals want done on cloned embryos, thus voiding any valid reason to create human life for the sake of experimenting on it. Great news, right? Not for Time magazine, whose Parkinson-afflicted Michael Kinsley bleats in outrage that stem cell research ought to be pursued anyway.
If I can make any sense of his argument, he seems to be saying that President Bush cost Parkinson patients several years of research by hesitating to spend federal money on ghoulish experiments. Therefore, Kinsley wants to press forward by killing some embryos, scientific justification be damned.
Kinsley also argues that since embryos are killed in fertility clinics, they ought to be killed in research clinics too. He also asserts that paths of inquiry shouldn't be abandoned, just because better ones have been discovered.
Hopefully the skin cell research will yield results soon enough to help Kinsley think more clearly.
Once again it becomes apparent that liberal support of stem cell research is not based on science, but on a need to establish that the soul is a superstition, and that human life has no inherent value. Not only would this support their nihilistic ideology, it would justify the legality and taxpayer funding of abortion. Also, their beloved socialized medicine will lead inevitably to rationing of healthcare, which in turn will force a reliance on euthanasia for those no longer in a position to be of use to the State.
On a tip from Scott.
