now, a friend and i attempted to talk to her about it, and we got this repsonse:
*You can gather stem cells now with the new technology with out actually destroying the embryo. Read up on the research that's is happening in the field and don't believe what you hear from politicians and/or the mass media.
-The sad thing is that since there isn't federal funded money to help further the advancement of stem cell research, it's being left up to the private corporations. By doing so, if anything is found that can help cure or prevent diseases, then the private corp can then patent the solution. Since the infomation is then held by a private orgainization and not public, then those findings will never be released to the product to further scientific research that isn't based on monateray ideas. Ron Paul wants to leave it up for free market, it just doesn't work. Look at pharamsuticles now adays, they ridiculously expensive when they really don't cost all that much to produce.
*I do agree that there needs to be a revamping of the doe and to minimize the beuracy that is going on. Too many copies of too many papers. Yet, eliminating and leaving it up to the parent to provide opprotunities for better schools is outrageous. Every school in it's right should be equal to every other school.
-What alot of people don't understand that public education is left up to the states, for the most part. Public education in the state of TX is based .. taxes. Hence the reason kids in katy (who have a high property tax base) gets a better education then some kid down in Brownsville. It shouldn't depend on where the kid is located if he/she is going to recieve the best education. It's not their fault that they're born in a family that has hardship. It's the government's (state and federal) to assure equal opprotunity to the children of the nation to recieve equal education possibilties (which should be better than par.)
*..ion: The only reason why abortion ever came to the federal level was because someone wanted to make a constitutional admendment to ban it. The supreme court ruled that it doesn't have the power to say so (orginally). I do not believe it's a government issue either way, it should be left up to the adult (deemed by what age in whatever state) to decide if they want to have the option or not.
I am all for contitutionalism. If you actually look into the constitution and history, you'll see where, how and why the federal government has had the power to step into state affairs. Just look at civil rights, it was left up to the states to apply ethical issues on what they saw fit. But When the south were not taking the most humane approach and instituting laws based on race, congress had the constitutional right to step in because it had to do with commerce.
As for leaving it up to the states to decide, just go review your histroy books and find out why there was a need in shift from state surpremcy to federal and why in the begining when all the soveringty was left to the states, it just didn't work. (cough::articles of confederation::cough)
Tell you friend, that you spoke with, that she really needs to go read her history books and find out how constitution has evolved over the years and the impact of each major event. Also go tell her to research what stem cells are, and how they actually gathered from embryos. Tell her to research why Tell her she needs to be informed before she starts speaking out.
Your friend is just like every other "well-informed" person in the Texas.
ANY HELP?
