ESCR is already being done and paid for with tax dollars. <br /><br />The issue is whether using tax dollars to pay for the killing of embryos is going to lead to more embryonic stem cell lines from African-American embryos. <br /><br />Second, we don't "need" to do it anymore than we "need" to experiment on toddlers. That would "expand the universe of what is possible to do and think about" but that doesn't mean we should or "need" to do it.Jivin Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437784306957426634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8737469.post-26168908033410023402009-12-24T07:20:47.791-08:002009-12-24T07:20:47.791-08:00The talk about immediate applications is just publ...The talk about immediate applications is just public relations.<br /><br />We need to do ESCR for BASIC SCIENCE reasons.
