Stanford Jumps Into Cloning Fray

smackthud writes "According to this article in the Minneapolis StarTribune website Stanford University is planning to clone human embryos. Story summary says it all: 'Stanford University announced today its intention to clone human embryos, becoming the first U.S. university to publicly embrace the politically charged procedure. The intent of the project is to produce stem cells for medical research.'" Stanford has released a statement distinguishing what Stanford is doing from reproductive cloning.

Is Bush a hypocrite?

[why-is-it]

I was rather angry at Bush when he decided to limit stem cell research. I felt that his decision was affected directly by his religious beliefs.

GWB's religious beliefs do not seem to be slowing him down from a pointless war against Iraq in which a number of non-combatants will become "colateral damage"...

I guess he is able to choose when his beliefs come into play and when they can be cast aside...

He didn't stand to make money from stem-cell research like he might from big oil as a result of this war.

Simple, really.
