Catholic official asks legislators not to fund stem cell research - The Business Review (Albany):: "New York state's Roman Catholic church Wednesday urged the state Legislature to reject Gov. Eliot Spitzer's proposal to invest $2.1 billion in stem cell and other biomedical research over the next decade.

Richard Barnes, executive director of the state's Catholic Conference, said church leaders are opposed to embryonic stem cell research. He said the proposal for the research fund is vague about what kinds of stem cell work would be funded if the Spitzer plan is approved."

How dare these religious egomaniacs interfere in science that could be the answer so many conditions? If they have a personal moral problem with it, then fine; but I believe that they have absolutely no right to dictate and try to enforce their code on others. They just don't understand the science or issues.
