Republican Fights Hard Against IVF
Americas have discussed the issue of embryonic stem cell research for months without branching out into related areas. Now, one hard right Republican who has made signals about running for President in 2008 wants not only to block investment in further research but also curtail in vitro fertilizations that has brought life to thousands. The AFP has the story:
A prominent conservative US senator called for restrictions on the number of embryos that could be created during fertility treatments, hoping to lessen the number of unwanted embryos left over when the procedures end.Not only are the Republicans against scientific innovations that could save millions of people's lives, but now some GOPers are against allowing married couples with trouble conceiving having children. Which party stands for the culture of life?
"In a number of countries, they limit the number of these in vitro fertilizations from outside the womb," US Senator Sam Brownback told ABC television's "This Week" program.
"They say you can do this, but you have to do these one or two at a time, so that they're implanted in that basis. And that might be the better way to look at this.
"That's a way that you can look at that, instead of going on this massive scale of what we've done here," Brownback said.
