Why everyone should take at least one biology class

Oh, for the love of all that is good in the world, will someone please physically and violently knock some sense into someone, anyone in the White House? Ideally, Bush himself, so he stops doing stupid crap like this:

Announcing his veto to a roomful of supporters, Bush said, ''If this legislation became law, it would compel American taxpayers for the first time in our history to support the deliberate destruction of human embryos. I made it clear to Congress and to the American people that I will not allow our nation to cross this moral line.''

NO IT WOULDN'T, YOU IDIOTIC SACK OF GUTS!

It would do absolutely nothing of the sort. It would, at most, compel American tax payers to support doing something with almost unprecedented potential with clumps of cells that are otherwise going to be discarded without any use.

The majority of stem-cells used in research come from IVF procedures. A typical IVF procedure fertilizes far more eggs then are actually implanted, thus, excess. If they're not used for research (which has the potential to save countless lives, to say nothing of the improvement of so many more), they're just destroyed. Incinerated, put in an autoclave and tossed out in the garbage.

What's more respectful of life there, hmm?
