The need for stem cells.........
Well, it would seem that the need to further the debate on further embryonic stem cell research is over.

It would seem that scientist have been able to create stem cells from skin cells. All this talk about how it was necessary to utilize embryonic stem cells, and so many people ignoring the work that was being done with stem cells from other than embryos (cells in which cures have been discovered and even beginning to be studied) and all we heard about was how the President was failing all those sick people.

Well, looks like he was right. Science can coexist while at the same time fostering the sanctity of human life. Furthermore, the technique to create this new stem cells is so easy that thousands of labs in this country can begin making them tomorrow if they wanted.

Gone is the slippery slope of the ethical dilemna in deciding whether it is alright to create life only to destroy it. Imagine that, science found a way.

Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
