Bravo, Al Gore!

Embryonic stem cell research necessarily destroys a human embryo, which is what we all were once upon a time. You can slice and dice that concept however it suits, but the truth remains: You were once “it.” That thing. That cluster of cells. Regardless of how one gets through the night, it is inarguably better to avoid destroying life whenever one can.

Here and now, one can. And I’m not a Catholic, lapsed or otherwise. It just makes sense. Gore apparently thinks so, too. And he’s not an idiot, right?

Bravo, while we’re at it.
