And how would you know this? Oh that's right..........you don't, but that never stopped the hot air from rushing out your ass before either.

Thanks for not addressing my earlier point about destroying or keeping frozen indefinitely embryos that might be used in research with life-saving potential. Your brilliant retort was even shorter than I'd anticipated.

TK is just like the tools that claimed the atom couldn't be split because.......gee.........it hadn't happened yet. Yeah, well no sh!t Sherlock. Results usually come AFTER research.

I suppose the government can only be counted on to fund research with moral questions when it's used to incinerate people, not save them huh? We'll research the hell out of nuclear fission so we can blow people up (no moral questions there right? ), but we get all tight-assed (well, you do) about using embryonic tissue because it "could" be life........but where's the outrage when the tissue is disposed of (usually burned), or kept frozen in limbo until it is destroyed?

Tell your diabetic buddy he should get a new friend. He'd be dead already if scientists took the whiny-assed "we won't have a cure tomorrow, so let's not even try" approach you seem to be advocating. At least now he probably takes gentically-human insulin, takes blood-pressure meds for kidney maintenance, and will have precision laser eye surgery available if retinopathy sets in. None of it came from people sitting on their ass sniveling about the current lack of a cure. You do what you can to stay healthy until there IS a cure. Could be tomorrow, next year, 10 years or never. But only a loser stops looking.

Oh, and your premise of not wanting your tax money going to research you find morally questionable reminds me of the granola/peacenik crowd and their view of weapons research. Two peas in a pod, you are.
