Embryonic Stem Cell Research Legalized in California

Stigmata669 writes "Against the wishes of the White House, it appears that Gov. Gray Davis has passed legislation to legalize embryonic stem cell research in California. The article sheds some light on the nature of this decision, and highlights the difference between this decision, and the continued ban on human cloning in California."

Majority-shmority

An interesting point, but Jehovah's Witnesses do not represent a
particularly large segment of the American population or their beliefs.

This is irrelevant, with respect to the argument of separation of
church and state. 200 Years ago it was the majority view in the south
that blacks were inferior and hence the concept of slavery was valid.
We look back on that now with revulsion. So then if the majority view
cannot over ride the documents that define the nation. Simply put, the US
has a constitution that defines how the church and state interact.
The issue of embriotic destruction is a religious one and should not
be federally precluded.

Think carefully. (I know it hurts)

Gov. Gray Davis is probably receiving some sort of "appreciation" for allowing company 'X' to conduct their research. Not to mention many other multi-billion dollar bio-medical research and pharmaceuticals will move to or conceive in CA.
