Stem cells are probably going to be extremely useful. But it isn't a given, and even if it were, I don't think the end justifies the means. I am not against stem cells, I think it's great. Blanket objection is not very reasonable to me-any effort to control scientific advances is doomed to fail. You cannot stop the human mind from working.

All poets pretend to write for immortality, but the whole tribe have no objection to present pay, and present praise.

Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it... gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

A good Moslem king was one who was strict in religion, valiant in battle, just in giving judgment among his people, but not one who had the slightest objection in international matters to removing his neighbour's landmark.
Gilbert K. Chesterton

The common objection to seniority pay is, It's rewarding dead wood! My response is, Why do you hire dead wood? Or why do you hire live wood and kill it?
Peter R. Scholtes
Image
