And Frist was one of the guys in the first “Justice Sunday” too. When are Dobson, Haggard, et al going to realize that they are just being pandered to by the politicians to get elected? It makes me laugh to see all the outrage and disappointment from the culture warriors, see this Dobson announcement.

Dobson says, “We urge Sen. Frist to reconsider his position in light of the values he has espoused during his career in public service.” The only thing wrong with this statement is that politicians don’t have values, they just adopt the values of the people that get him elected. Rumor is that he wants the presidency in 2008, so he’s transitioning to the center, just like Hilary.

I’m not quite sure where I stand on the stem-cell debate. From what I’ve heard, there isn’t anyone who wants to use the embryos for a permanent solution, they are just the easiest to work with right now, and to learn how to do it. The ultimate goal is to be able to take a cell from your liver and grow you a new one, not have a big farm full of embryos to do it. That’s my understanding of the goals, I may be wrong.

So, if the embryos are going to be destroyed anyway, is it still ethical to do the research if the families donate them? Again, I don’t find an easy answer there.
