Dogmatic Interference

Published on April 18, 2005 By stevendedalus In Religion

It is a stretch to carry the “culture of life” to in vitro fertilization in laboratories for purposes of medical research when it is clear no such “life at conception” exists. The potential if successful is to preserve the culture of life for those plagued by injury and disease. To limit such research to singular adult stem cells is to deny the holistic venture into greater cures. In this respect religious dogma is a plague on the house of reason and science.

then how is the researcher any different

Yes, there are many infractions by university researchers who take from the government at the same time they receive corporation kick-backs.

Not exactly what I meant. I mean, if our scientific research is so reliant on taxpayer funding, how are they any different than any corporation that does the same thing, yet we are supposed to view the corporation as an evil money grubbing monster, but not the researchers.

To me, most of the R&D that goes on should be privately funded. I mean, if Joe Snuffy University Labs finds a cure for cancer, who gets the patent rights, the taxpayers who funded the research, the govenment who authorized the funding, or Joe Snuffy University? We pay the costs, they get the profits.

That's what I meant.

Theoretically there should be NO profits. But, yes, I get your meaning.
