Frosty the Snowflake

Yesterday we saw President Bush excercising his veto power for the first time in his presidency by stopping the embryonic stem cell bill. This appears to be payback to the fundamentalists who believe they put him in office. He said he didn't want us to cross the moral line that would mean we are intentionaly destroying potential human beings.

Arguments that such research may be for the greater good, are rejected by these people. And yet they advocate in vitro fertilization and "adopting" frozen embryos so that they can be implanted and brought to birth - even though the transfer process results in most of the embryos being destroyed. Sounds like they are just advancing their own version of the "greater good".

If the IVF and implantation process will inevitably result in lost embryos, why not make use of them? Isn't it something like the organ donor process?
