Talk of ethics just seems a little odd, especially from one who seems to have no problem with any fool with enough money, including enemies of democracy, being able to bear arms.
I'm glad that we as a country have decided to carry on with this medical research, and I pray that in the future none of your future ancestors will have the need for any of the break through treatments, which may come about because of this.

Depends on how it is being conducted. After all, the Nazis were big on research but I hardly think we'd endorse their methods.
There have been some very promising results using adult stem cells as well as those from umbilical cord blood. None reported from the use of fetal stem cells. It is not necessary to kill babies or play God in other areas of research. If I had a debilitating or terminal illness, I would not think it my right to demand something be done that I consider unethical just to find a possible cure. I am not wired that way.
How, pray tell, do you propose to disarm the enemies of democracy? You don't seem too keen on the use of force.
I have never advocated that "any fool with enough money," should be able to acquire a firearm.
