Theres really nothing i can say if your main objection is with people in a foreign country wanting some kind of say on how their taxes are spent. I'll just agree to disagree.

it's not repressed? i thought there was legislation that prevented the accumulation of stem cells from foetuses or something? even if there were no restrictions to private research ventures (although there are) i still wouldn't agree that simply because an uninformed electorate doesn't agree with it that funding shouldn't be increased to such research.
In a similar way to nod you're dismissing them as being uninformed simply because they disagree with you
Out of curiosity how much do you donate to stem cell research?


But yeah the debate has moved on. Lets say a nine year old girl, brought up as a christian is dying of cancer, and she believes she'll go to heaven and finds comfort in that. In the weeks she has left would you respect her personal beliefs and leave her alone or just tell her her life was ultimately meaningless and that shes deluding herself?
