Republicans vs Science

I just read something that has absolutely baffled me. In the nation of Columbia there is a woman who had her windpipe replaced with cells grown from her own stem cells. This is a serious Roman Catholic country and they have stem cell research and even have surgeries! So can anybody explain to me why the United States hasn’t done this yet or even is working on something like this? Oh yeah we have “Dubya” and his “science is bad” cronies controlling medical research. You know something, I bet if stem cell research could save his Momma or Daddy, or even one of his underage drinking daughters he would fund stem research so fast the vacuum effect would pull the evangelical Christian church into the 21st century! These are the same people who when they can’t have children of their own turn to science and then say it is miracle they are having quintuplets (yeah the miracle of science!) but when science wants to improve life they scream you are messing with “God’s plan”. Hey maybe “God’s Plan” was to keep you sterile and not allow you to pollute the earth with your offspring? Have you thought of it that way?
Remember these are the same people who support reproduction research (fertility drugs and Viagra) but won’t allow a terminally ill person to die with dignity. I wonder if Bush needs any help packing his things. I know some people with trucks and we would be glad to get him out of the White House and on his way back to what ever rock he crawled out from.
