All this time of Bush limiting stem cell research...

...and yet not one word from him about the "killing of babies" (fertilized eggs) at fertility clinics.

All that talk about "protecting life" and how that influenced his decision yet fertility clinics throw fertilized eggs down the drain and he remains silent.

Go figure.

1. Why are fertilized eggs being dumped?

[SHRED]

3. That is how fertility clinics work

You fertilize many eggs in hopes of getting a viable one.

2. Research ready to enter clinical trials has been stopped short in its

tracks because the mal-administration wouldn't allow safe clinical trials to proceed. No telling how many procedures and drugs have been shut down, and I fear, "lost" because there wasn't the funding to continue, and those working on the projects had to turn to other research to make a living.

I don't know "how much" or "how many". I wish people could come forward and tell us the kinds of projects they were working on that were suspended because of the roadblock in the administration.

4. I think pro life groups are reluctant to attack IVF clinics

People are actually TRYING to have a baby. So, its difficult to criticise them when they want children.

I remember Michael J Fox had a good point about that: he asked why the pro life groups never did anything about the IVF clinics, if fertislised eggs were so important to them.
