There are some things that cannot be accomplished without government help Rural electrification, for example.
There's an article in today's paper on how lack of federal funds has hurt stem cell research. This is likely something that cannot be done, or done well without some government support.

The government already spends large amounts of money on scientific research. It should be up to the scientific community to decide where that money is best spent, and how it could best be used to benefit everyone. By banning federal dollars from being used on stem cell research, it not only prohibits the ability of scientists to have adequate funding to research embryonic stem cells, but adult stem cells, and fetal chord stem cells as well. The overwhelming majority of Americans support using federal money for this research, as it holds great promise for curing many chronic and devastating diseases. If you've never had to watch as a loved one suffers from Alzheimers or Parkinsons disease, maybe you don't fully appreciate how poor the quality of life is for the people who live with those diseases.
Instead of a ban on federal research money for stem cells, it might make more sense to ban the creation of embryos especially for stem cell research. In the process of in-virtro fertilization, many embryos are created and later discarded. Why not allow those embryos to be used in research, and why not use federal money to perform that research? If we could have a cure for Alzheimers and Parkinsons wouldn't you want that? The stem cells used for that research were just going to be discarded anyway. How does it possibly make sense not to use them for something that can improve the quality of life for hundreds of thousands of people around the world?

Michael J Fox is any such effective guy. notwithstanding if it have been real, he had 50 million, he has medical costs, he can no longer make so lots greater money except he's sturdy in shares or trusts his broking provider. Michael has to stay on the money he has, pay medical, and this may be for something of his existence. 50 million see you later! the U. S. needs stem cellular study and it quite is not all approximately killing toddlers. lots of stem cells are in the umbilical twine that's of little need after the toddler is born. The drug manufacturers do no longer want remedies for something. i've got self belief their is a treatment for diabetes and different issues yet no person will let us know. i think of AIDS became created in a lab, and the treatment has no longer been launched. greater desirable than flying out to area in step with annum, we want drug study for remedies. greater desirable than development a large highway from Mexico to Canada-we want remedies. greater desirable than putting up a partial fence between Canada and Mexico--which will positioned quite some our truck drivers out of artwork-----we want remedies.

You might change your tune if you or someone you loved had an illness for which stem cell research offered a cure. It's easy to be arrogant and full of yourself when you are blessed with good health.
Bush made stem cell research a political issue, not the liberals. He wanted more Christian Right votes, not better science.
Pick an argument that you can defend.

Another question that goes along with yours; why do you consider Bush's policy a ban. The policy does not ban any research, it only restricts what the government will pay for. So feel free to dig into your own pockets.
Just for the record I support stem cell research.

Donations can only go so far.
Taxes would make the most sense, because stem cell research is one of the most important medical projects ever.

It's nice to see someone get such a kick out of themselves.
I don't donate all of my discretionary funds to one cause. There are many that I give to.

Hang on to those tax dollars "on the mountain top" so you can buy more "stuff". How could we hang on to the label of the Ugly American if it weren't for people who share your views?
