I recently read about a scientist who discovered a new method of creating human babies in a laboratory. He begins simply by putting a baby in a test tube and adding a few enzymes. A few days later, he pulls the baby out into the open air. Presto! A baby.
This new process is a huge advance. Up until now, scientists could only create babies in the lab by taking fully grown adults and jamming them into test tubes. It was a very arduous process, especially for those adults unfortunate enough to find themselves in such a tight spot.
Forgive the absurdity.
If human life does not begin at conception, then it seems reasonable to assume that scientists could begin life in the lab at some later stage in human development. But scientists can do no such thing. Hence, it is safe to conclude that human life begins at the instant of conception.
Barack Obama, the loftiest intellect to ever lead the free world, promised that he would "restore science to its rightful place." He also pronounced that his administration would be based on "facts." Hence, he will repeal Bush Administration restrictions on the use of human embryos for research. To Mr. Obama, killing is the first step toward a healthy worldview.
How wonderful! How lofty! How noble! How progressive!
The incredibly attenuated, truncated, amputated view of the world represented by Mr. Obama is utterly monstrous. The most current advances in the medical sciences -- advances that have made international news for months and months -- prove that embryonic stem cell research is nearly antiquated. Besides, such research is purely speculative: there is nothing certain about any of the alleged gains gleaned from the harvesting of human life. Sadly, Mr. Obama is remarkably consistent on investing in phantoms: He's pouring billions of dollars into technologies and energy sources that do not yet even exist; and he's pouring monies -- during times of alleged desperation -- into biological speculations that reduce the beneficiaries of the apparent benefits of zygotic mutilation to cannibalistic parasites. We create and kill other humans solely for our benefit ... and profit.
Clearly, Mr. Obama DOES believe in building a society and economy from the bottom upward, using, and abusing, the poorest and most vulnerable to boost those of us who have the privilege of maturity on our side.
Bottom (bloody) line: This is all about $$$. That's it. $$$ distributed among allies. By Dr. Barackenstein.
And you thought Barack Obama was about a better world.
(Please take one moment to reflect on the monsters loosed upon the world by science -- "restored to its rightful place." Imagine a world where no one but embryos ever dies. It isn't hard to do.)
Peace through dissent.

I recall Orwell's 1984 wherein the economies were based upon government consumptions of most production, in part, so that the "proles" would not get all "uppity" and think about rebelling. Hence, the constant warfare.
I wonder whether that is part of the situation here. That is, confiscate ever increasing amounts of the taxpayers' production and funnel into projects with a dubious prospect of success, by invoking lofty goals and making promises which cannot be kept. Stated differently, science doesn't matter. It is all about the control of the populace via eliminating its economic freedom, with a little bit of social engineering thrown in to boot.
As for this particular issue, one must wonder how it's possible to bet able to believe that it is philosophically consistent to destroy life to save it.
Cheers.
Hi Bill-
I'm taking the liberty of copying something I found on a website called PrayerClosetMinistries.org
and which is very similar to a message I heard at church today regarding our responsibility to pray for "kings and all those in authority." I expect that our children may not experience the lifetime blessings of freedom and ease that we have known as Americans... they may instead begin to experience very different blessings...the purifying fires, hardship, persecution... nonetheless, we are told to pray for our leaders, that we may live quiet, godly, and peaceable lives... Regardless of our political/social views, we are called to pray for President Barak Obama.
I thought this was good. It is based on Psalm 101, in which King David offers worship along with a sort of set of goals and objectives for his life and reign.... The prayer guide was originally written with GW in mind, but now, more than ever:
Praying For The President
.....Read this psalm and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in your praying for the President. The following are some requests that you can make of God for him:
Verse 1:
That he will love and practice mercy and justice;
That he will praise and adore God
Verse 2:
That he will act wisely;
That he will live a life of integrity both in public and in private;
That he will sense and know the presence of God in his life
Verse 3:
That he will hate what is evil;
That he will not tolerate compromise in his life or in those who surround him;
Verse 4:
That he will keep his heart right with God and man;
That he would repent of sin and fight against it
Verse 5:
That he will hate and avoid pride, evil talk, and slander
Verse 6:
That he will appoint blameless and efficient men and women to positions of authority
Verse 7:
That he will maintain blameless and godly standards;
That lies and deceit would be unacceptable to him
Verse 8:
That he would labor with all his strength to eradicate ungodly, immoral laws;
That he would labor with all his strength to build a righteous foundation for the nation
