Things that changes your ethics...

A couple month ago I mentioned stem cells to my father for a school project, he didn't really get what the big fuss was about. now that one of his friend's child needs stem cells in order to have a hope of being able to live a full life, my father started to talk to me about Bush's ethics on stem cells.

Here's the story.

Three years ago my father's mechanic had a child, but the delivery was delayed for 4-5 hours and causing the child's right brain to die. The child now cannot talk or walk. Now the mechanic is going back to china to get stem cells implanted into the child's brain, because president Bush does not allow federal funding of stem cell research.

This made me think, what if Bush's family member has a failing organ, or his parents contract Parkinson's. Would that make him reconsider his past actions?
