Crappy TV Shows
*****Last night while making dinner, I had the TV in the kitchen ($10.00 used) tuned to that strange show " The Doctors." Now I wasn't watching The Doctors because I think it is a great show. I was watching it because it is now the only channel we receive on this particular TV. It is so old that a converter box can't even be hooked up to it. But I digress.
*****Last night they were touting Embryonic Stem Cell Research as the "end all and be all" of the future. Odd, since Oprah's favorite physician, Dr. Oz, just announced to a rather stunned Oprah and Michael J. Fox, that fetal stem cell research was a "dead issue" and that there were more reliable research methods available. It seems that fetal stem cells have a tendency to develop a "mind of their own" and run a bit crazy. While you think you're getting a liver, you might end up with a big right toe. We won't even take the time to discuss the cancer angle.
*****Well, the bright young talkative doctor on this show was all excited and saying how fetal stem cells could be convinced to become any darn thing we wanted. Why, they could be kidneys or corneas, or even a left big toe to go with the right one you acquired instead of a liver.
The only thing these cells would not become is what they were - a human being!
*****So, on to the next segment about a newlywed couple living in Italy, I believe. After being married only a few months, the groom became quite ill, lapsed into a coma, and was not expected to live. But, but, says she, "we wanted children."
*****Somebody dreamed up the great idea of harvesting this poor guy's sperm so that the young newlywed lady could be artificially inseminated and have the child they had always wanted.
*****The young earnest doctor just erupted in shock and indignation and said, "that's just plain wrong! You can't do such a thing without the consent of the patient."
I don't recall any babies consenting to be big toes, do you??
From the combox at Hot Air:
*****Looks like these Leftist Totalitarians will have destroyed American Democracy in just over 6 months by time they are done. They will have the banks, auto industry, the media and now health care.
*****If ACORN does the Census coupled with the GOP not taking back at least the Senate then forget about 2012. Who will Obama threaten with pitchforks next? My guess eventually the Church, Protestants and Catholics. I think it was Einstein who noted that it was only in the Church that a stand was taken against Germany’s Totalitarians aka Nazis.
