Nancy Valko forwarded Nigel Cameron’s latest op-ed, “The Truth, The Partial Truth, and Nothing But Evasions”: It’s fascinating to see just what has been happening with the cloning debate.

>CBS 60 Minutes touts embryonic stem cells, again
>The February 26th CBS 60 Minutes Sunday show is the second this month which has focused exclusively on destructive, unethical embryonic and fetal stem cell trials (and their trials due to Federal funding limits).
