NEW YORK — (ENI) "Right to Life" advocates have criticized U.S.
President Barack Obama's decision to reverse policies of the
administration of George W. Bush that limited federal funding for stem
cell research.

"It is a sad day when the federal government will fund research that
exploits living members of the human species as raw material for
research," Douglas Johnson, a spokesperson for the National Right to
Life Committee, said in a statement.

You are wrong. I'm bashing the stupidity of the Christians who are
ready to take GMOs in their own body, but go berserk about cloning a
sheep.

What if they clone a sheep with a monkey!?

He may have been PRO-GOD, but he was MORE PRO-MONEY.

So money prevails.

The Catholic Church though says...

"The Catholic Church is against embryonic stem-cell research because
it involves the destruction of human embryos. Pope John Paul II said
embryonic stem-cell research is related to abortion, euthanasia and
other attacks on innocent life."

Not everybody is so open minded about the issue as the Wise Tibetan

As the wheel of history turns, things often remain the same. Such are
the conditions in the meat packing industry in 1906 when 'The Jungle'
was written and in 2010 when powerful corporations decide what's safe
for you and don't even inform you because you are 'too stupid' to make
an informed decision. WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!

The Jungle

The novel’s title symbolizes the competitive nature of capitalism; the
world of Packingtown is like a Darwinian jungle, in which the strong
prey on the weak and all living things are engaged in a brutal, amoral
fight for survival. The title of the novel draws attention
specifically to the doctrine of Social Darwinism, an idea used by some
nineteenth-century thinkers to justify the abuses of wealthy
capitalists. This idea essentially held that society was designed to
reward the strongest, best people, while inferior people were kept
down at a suitable level. By relating the story of a group of honest,
hardworking immigrants who are destroyed by corruption and evil,
Sinclair tries to rebut the idea of Social Darwinism, implying that
those who succeed in the capitalist system are not the best of
humankind but rather the worst and most corrupt of all.
