MMFA: Dobson likens stem cell research to Nazi experiments...
this guy is something else. Lets see if the media "Dick Durbin"s him or not?

www.mediamatters.org who also has a petition asking for him Dobson's apology...

DOBSON: You know, the thing that means so much to me here on this this issue is that people talk about the potential for good that can come from destroying these little embryos and how we might be able to solve the problem of juvenile diabetes. There's no indication yet that they're gonna do that, but people say that, or spinal cord injuries or such things. But I have to ask this question: In World War II, the Nazis experimented on human beings in horrible ways in the concentration camps, and I imagine, if you wanted to take the time to read about it, there would have been some discoveries there that benefited mankind. You know, if you take a utilitarian approach, that if something results in good, then it is good. But that's obviously not true. We condemn what the Nazis did because there are some things that we always could do but we haven't done, because science always has to be guided by ethics and by morality. And you remove ethics and morality, and you get what happened in Nazi Germany. That's why to Senator Frist and the others who are saying, "Look what may be accomplished." Yeah, but there's another issue, there's a higher order of ethics here.

1. Dobson needs a history lesson
The Nazis got their ideas from the US.

2. Dobson's greatest fear
The fear that mad scientists will genetically produce a human being born without buttocks, so that as a child, s/he can not be spanked.

--p!
Focus on the Fanny

4. I have seen more than one Freeper
talk about "ripping these tiny embryos apart limb by limb, to use their body parts in stem cell research". Unbelievable.

Did these people ever get past 5th Grade in school?

5. Limb from limb?
Oh geez, that is pathetic. A cluster of cells smaller than the head of a pin does not have any limbs. Idiots.

THen there was that idiot Senator Brownback who stated that if we asked the "snowflake babies" when life began they would tell us.

Not only do they have limbs but they apparently have mouths and megaphones.
