This week I find myself disagreeing with the position the Ayn Rand Institute takes on the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. If it's such a potential, why don't we let free market forces take care of things. The drug companies would all jump in to make a big investment for a huge profit later. Private donors always have the option of giving money to research centers at universities. Bush only draws a line on federal funding, he does not ban embryonic stem cell research by anyone. I strongly support the president because there's no reason for the federal government to get involve if you believe in limited government. The federal government especially should not be using my tax dollars to fund something I am morally opposed to. And not just I but a whole bunch if not the majority of Americans. For those of you that are result oriented, tell me one good thing has come as the result of embryonic stem cell. Adult stem cell from umbilical cord has yielded encouraging result for juvenile diabetes. Even if embryonic stem cell should deliver, the federal government still has no business in getting involved. They should stick to national defense and interstate commerce.
