Shame on you. Apparently you have forgotten that Droopy knows everything about everything. He is the expert on all subjects.
Let us all keep in mind how truly blessed we are that he deigns to share a tiny bit of his great intellect and vast education with us.
You mean, everything qua everything.

The facts remain that embryonic research hit a dead end years ago, and no useful therapies or prospective therapies have yet been developed. The glorious benefits of embryonic stem cells are still in the realm of assumption and theory, not medical practicality, quite unlike adult stems cells of various kinds.
But of course, the proponents of convenience abortion on demand as a means of birth control and personal responsibility circumvention and who believe the world is "overpopulated" and wish to pull up the latter of prosperity, life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness that leads to the big pile of money and stuff that sits in a big, zero-sum warehouse somewhere behind them love the idea of embryonic stem cell research because it provides unlimited abortion on demand and the philosophy of anti-natalism a gloss of moral respectability. Now, the mass destruction of human embryos can be justified as a moral public good.
Always trust the Left and the militant Maher libertarians to be on the wrong philosophical, moral, and factual side of every human question, and severely so.

Brilliant post as usual, D, but what does "convenience abortion on demand" have to do with using embryos — which would otherwise be incinerated — for research?
