Hello.
I am writing to heap many praises upon President Barack Obama for bringing America out of the Dark Ages of the Bush Regime and heralding in a new age of scientific glory.
I'm talking about the executive order lifting the ban on embryonic stem cell research. Okay, technically Bush did not ban embryonic stem cell research, he actually legalized it, he just didn't authorize the federal government to pay for it. And yes, Bush spent more on backing scientific research than almost every other president in recent memory, but that doesn't count, because he was tainted by common mortal morality.
Thankfully Barack Obama has lifted the veil of ignorance from the nation, and now scientists can play God with human lives with wild abandon.
Sure, there are some ethical concerns, and it will probably lead to a full scale abortion industry where people are deliberately impregnated, then aborted in order to provide fresh stem cells for scientists like me who will to spend billions in federal dollars for what they need. And sure, all the really promising research comes from taking stem cells from the patient's own body, and that embryonic stem cells could lead to issues of immune system rejection, and possibly even cancer, but who needs facts and rational theories when there's a consensus going on between the scientists who aim to profit from federal funding, abortion advocates, and the politicians who love them.
Anyway, I have to go, I have some grant forms to fill out.
