Skin Cell Research Boon for Right To Lifers, 7 Years too Late for the Sick

George Bush's right-to-lifers are going nya, nya, nya we were right all along.

They're using a technique of using skin cells as a substitute for human-embryo cells for research as a boon for the their cause.

You haven't done one thing for the good of the average American people for whom you work.  In this one specific case, refusing to allow government funding for embryonic stem cell research, you also haven't done anything to help the only people you care about...your very rich friends.
