From Ian Gilbert
George W. Bush doesn’t like fetal stem cell research, which many people believe will alleviate suffering and save lives although it upsets those “conservative” voters who salivate and bark at the word “fetus”. Yet the US government is busily developing lethal varieties of mousepox and other pathogens (1 November, p 6). One is forced to conclude that conservative bioethics favour killing people, but not until after they’re born.
