Wise Like Serpents
29 September 2004"Moral thunder" exits the stem-cell debate. Or maybe just goes under cover. Greg Johnson of The Los Angeles Times notes the shift of stem-cell opponents' argument in California from abortion-tinged "life" issues to concerns about cost. If that strikes research supporters as disingenuous (or just silly, "akin to opposing capital punishment on the grounds that a state can't afford the electricity bills"), rest assured that the old thunder-n'-brimstone will still be heard from the pulpit. Just not necessarily in the public square, where California Catholics have been "'instructed to be wise like serpents.'"
