thursday-things that i need

for everyone in congress, and probably everyone in the world to spend 45 minutes listening to Dr. Doug Melton of the harvard stem cell institute.

honestly kids, in 50 years they're going to look at that veto and wonder why the president of the united states didn't want to cure cancer.

note: to anyone who objects to stem cell research on moral grounds, let me point out that this bill did not make using material from terminated pregnancies illegal. that's entirely legal (not at all what these scientists do, but still legal). scientists who work with embryonic stem cells think that it is better to use left over fertilized eggs from in vitro fertilization clinics to try and cure disease. the president apparently thinks it's better to incinerate them.
