OK Repubs Intro. Bill That Prohibits The Consumption Of Human Fetuses Would Ban Stem Cell Research

[hammersxstrings]

No, this isn’t from The Onion. It’s a REAL bill that has been introduced by Republicans in the Oklahoma Senate. Introduced by Republican Ralph Shortey, Senate bill 1418 makes it illegal to make or sell food or other products that contain human fetuses, including in research and development. Republicans introduced the bill after a Christian Right

What.

No, seriously, what do they have to back up this assertion?

[browneyedguuurl]

Since when has not having ANY factual information slowed the GOP down?

[jettakd]

Well, never but at least they usually have one conspiracy obsessed, down the rabbit hole "scientist" or some shady "anonymous investigative research" that they like to pull out.

Actually there is some factual basis that fetal cells are used in product development: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/nov/03/aborted-fetus-cells-used-in-anti-aging-products/?page=all

Other things that use fetal cells in research: vaccines. I guess no more polio vaccines in OK?

My mind immediately went to this.

What show is this?

[cuterabbit33]

Clone High. It was a cartoon show from MTV, where essentially a secret organization cloned famous historical figures for their future army, but instead we're treated to their high school antics. In my opinion, it's as funny as hell in my biased opinion.

[mariechan]

Something about it seems terribly familiar, like as if Craig McCracken or Gendy Tartokovsky could have worked on it.

This is what is considered a serious issue right now? Not, you know, jobs, income inequality, health care, education, life in the US in general...
