Our Illustrious Senator votes to protect life that will never be! While those that already live can suffer. The "Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007" passed despite the opposition of Mrs. Dole. One would think that she already would have proposed legislation requiring embryo's left over from fertility treatments to be frozen for eternity. Congress passed the legislation anyhow, but President Bush vetoed it. There was never any attempt to make this research illegal. That would be impossible. But with laws in place to make sure that no Federal funds are used, universities and research hospitals are locked out with no funding. This assures the protection of patents and profits for the coprorate giants, who can proceed full steam ahead without competition from entities whose discoveries might wind up in the public domain. Free enterprise always works best. . . . especially when you have powerful friends in low places. My Mother died after a more than ten year battle with Parkinson's Disease. In the end stages she was unable to move, speak, or even swallow a sip of water. The only part of her that would work was her eyes, which looked at me pleading for an end to her misery. How many more will die while research catches up; the research that had been delayed for years by Republicans desperate for a hot button issue that would get them elected. If you don't have the money to donate to this campaign, please donate to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research. |
