Bush replaces distinguished bioethicist(s)...

Post by Arborealus »

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... cloning_dc

I just kinda get the feeling that she lost it and called him a fucktard...

Lets see one of the worlds most distinguished bioethicists...A neurosurgeon specializing in seperation of conjoined twins...

Maybe the administration is expecting a sudden increase in the rates of conjoined twin births due to the lax enforcement of clean water policies? Or maybe Bush got sick of being told his position was so much tripe scientifically speaking and got himself a yes boy...

Ya know if I'm pres...I'm gonna get rational folks from all sides of the argument to fight in front of me so I know whats really going on...Then again that's because I can think myself...

christianity vs. science. I wonder what will win with that fucking fundy in the white house. the US is going to be put in the stone ages in terms of medical advancements in the near future because all the biggest advancements are being made in this area.

every time someone brings up stem cells, I'm sure george imagines huge warehouses of soul-less clones gestating in vats of fluid, ready to step out of the birthing chambers and refuse to accept jesus christ as their personal lord and saviour because they weren't properly born.

One approach would use cloning technology to try to find ways to allow tailor-made treatments based on a patient's own cells. Bush opposes this and has severely limited the use of federal funds in such research.


South Korean scientists announced earlier this month they had cloned human embryos and extracted from them stem cells for this very purpose, making clear they intend to continue with the research.
At least someone is still able to work on this stuff. Sucks this stuff is having to be developed in fucking Korea instead of the U.S. cause Bush is such a fucking retard. God, if he doesn't get voted out in November we are doomed.

It's staggering the amount of money the US stands to lose if other countries perfect treatments with stem cell research. That's not even to mention the probably millions of lives it will save.

If Bush is elected for a second term I really hope someone assassinates him.

If Bush were to get the heave ho (ala Kennedy, Lincoln) wouldnt it be really ironic if the assasin were a Tranvestite who got turned down for a marraige certificate. just a thought

You guys are pathetically un-American. It's really sad.

Even I who hated Clinton and American's blind love for him, never wished that upon him.

Actually, I would say that the expression of their frustration with our esteemed commander-in-chief is rather characteristicly american.

I think that word gets tossed around too much. Badmouth the president? You're un-American. War protester? Un-American. Gay? Un-American. Anti-Gay? Un-American. Conservative? Un-American. Liberal? Un-American. Born on the third tuesday of the month? Un-fucking-American.

Find a new word, fucktards. This one's old and tired, like 1950's McCarthyist tired.

I know a commie! Get that pinko bastard! Witch hunt! Witch hunt!

EEEEAAAARGH!

With every word Midnyte posts, he becomes even more dumb in my eyes. At this point you are a pioneer in ignorance. How much further can you go?

Reminds me of the hooplah against the Dixie Chicks. How pathetic were the people that were out steamrolling their CD's? Very. Those are the type of people that are going to vote for Bush again. And the sad thing is, this country is full of them. People too lazy and ignorant to care about anything as long as they've got their all you can eat buffet at the Ponderosa and Friends reruns on TV.

I heard theres a revolutionary new way to perform brain surgery!! In order to pry out the foul demon trapped within ones brain, all you need to do is get a dagger, carve a sign of the cross deep into the back of ones skull, and then pour down salt (make sure its blessed) into the wound.

Im sure that fucking retard of a presedent would support such a concept if enough of the religious right supported it.

Unless he means they literally bought them and steam-rolled over them. Otherwise, they did more of a cockblocking of Dixie Chicks CDs, rather than a steamroll.

I believed he did mean that literally...:)...a la The Beetles, Ulysses etc...I seem to recall some news footage with that...

Can't find footage or photos of it though there are numerous anecdotal references...I did find some coverage of the CDs being burned at http://www.holyobserver.com/detail.php? ... i02&art=dc
