I personally find the ethical slope involved with embryonic stem cell research to be quite slippery indeed, and worthy of its own debate; but I can say with a clean conscience that that bias does not inform my motivation to limit the scope of the government, particularly when such an endeavor fundamentally is at odds with the free-market success story that is the U.S.

Explain to me exactly what it is about embryonic stem cell research you think taxpayer dollars can achieve that private funding won't? Research so far has shown embryonic stem cells to be a dead end. I'd rather my dollars be spent on something a little more fruitful.
