Re-read one of the lines in Frist’s speech: “[Embryonic stem-cell research] should advance in a manner that affords all human life dignity and respect — the same dignity and respect we bring to the table as we work with children and adults to advance the frontiers of medicine and health.” If it’s going to be “the same dignity and respect,” does that mean we’re going to carve up, and kill, children and adults whenever there’s a chance to make a medical advance?
