POLITICS TRUMPS FACTS IN ADMINISTRATION HOSTILE TO SCIENCE

.........Last month, the president clung to a dubious rationale that values the "lives" of embryos, about the size of a pencil-point, over the lives of full-fledged children suffering with juvenile diabetes. His argument is even less rational if you consider the fate of the vast majority of leftover embryos: They will eventually be destroyed. Apparently, it's perfectly acceptable to dump those blastocysts in the trash. But using them to cure hideous diseases? That's unacceptable, according to Bush's moral principles.

Dr. Carmona believed that, as the nation's top public health officer, he should be able to offer guidance on the subject of stem cell research "so that we can have, if you will, informed consent. I was told to stand down and not speak about it. It was removed from my speeches," he said.

When his four-year term was over, Dr. Carmona was not asked to stay. The Bush administration instead has found someone more to its liking, Dr. James W. Holsinger Jr., who has written, among other things, that homosexual sex is unnatural and unhealthy.

If Dr. Holsinger has also found that women should never occupy the Oval Office because they are hysterical and prone to fits of monthly distemper, then he could be a candidate for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That's the prize for those whose service in the Bush administration abuses the public trust but accommodates the president's political machinations.
