Ramesh, I don’t see the inconsistency. 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.” Obviously, the good Doctor would like to experiment on children and adults just as if they were embryos, and apparently on a table. Is that, like, a problem? I mean, as long as you don’t happen to be the child, adult or embryo on the table in question, what’s the big deal?
