Best Stem Cell Research Quotes

Even the most noble ends do not justify any means.” ~ George W. Bush

“As I’ve said before, time is short, and life is precious.” ~ Nancy Reagan
- “Indeed, religion allows people to imagine that their concerns are moral when they are highly immoral – that is, when pressing these concerns inflicts unnecessary and appalling suffering on innocent human beings. This explains why Christians like yourself expend more “moral” energy opposing abortion than fighting genocide. It explains why you are more concerned about human embryos than about the lifesaving promise of stem-cell research. And it explains why you can preach against condom use in sub-Saharan Africa while millions die from AIDS there each year. (25)” ~ Sam Harris
- “What President Obama has done so masterfully of late is to say, in so many words, “I’m signing this executive order permitting federal funding for stem cell research, but I realize that many good, moral people are opposed to this, and I don’t take that lightly.” I think we can be more civil and empathetic in our discussions of public policy, and I hope my book can be a contribution to that tone.” ~ Kevin Roose
- “For me, moral questions such as stem-cell research turn upon whether suffering is caused. In this case, clearly none is. The embryos have no nervous system. But that’s not an issue discussed publicly. The issue is, Are they human? If you are an absolutist moralist, you say, “These cells are human, and therefore they deserve some kind of special moral treatment.”” ~ Richard Dawkins
- “I speak as a private citizen and not as a representative of the Executive Branch of the United States government. The impression that people of faith are uniformly opposed to stem-cell research is not documented by surveys. In fact, many people of strong religious conviction think this can be a morally supportable approach.” ~ Richard Dawkins
-
“I support stem cell research, including embryonic stem cell research.” ~ Bob Ehrlich
- “A good person is one who follows the Ten Commandments and the golden rule. There is plenty of precedent in history to guide us and we probably evolved to be sensitive to Bible-Golden Rule situations. But the dilemmas faced by a worker – a journalist, an architect, an auditor – or by a citizen (what position to take on stem cell research, whether to run for office, what is the proper balance between taxation and social nets) – are not questions that can be answered by traditional texts or precedents.” ~ Howard Gardner
- “I would like people to understand the rationale for my embryonic stem cell research decision and how the process became distorted over time.” ~ George W. Bush

- “Who knew, in 2000, that compassionate conservatism meant bigger government, unrestricted government spending, government intrusion in personal matters, government ineptitude, and cronyism in disaster relief?

A more accurate term for Mr. Bush’s political philosophy might be incontinent conservatism.” ~ Christopher Buckley
-

Oh… and everybody’s high!” ~ Stephen Colbert
