Stem Cells Are Not Holy

Card Player magazine published this article about a poker player who is going to die soon from what is essentially a form of Mad Cow Disease. He is probably the only person in the world with this disease, which doctors suspect he acquired from eating a deer (side note: that's what you get for shooting and eating random-ass wild game).

As the article reports, this man's few remaining days of agonizing pain could probably be reversed with a stem cell transplant. Unfortunately, our President (and most voters) use emotion, not reason, to make their decisions. So now this man, like countless others before him, gets to die a slow, painful death, all while knowing that medical advances capable of curing him have been banned by our government thanks to a belief in hearsay that’s still duping the gullible two-thousand years after its inception.

The irony here is that, odds are, the victim in this situation, a gun-owning hunter, likely cast a vote for his own demise in the last two Presidential elections. It's amazing how much suffering takes place as a direct result of the selfishness and stupidity of those who believe that "paradise" awaits them upon death. The only paradisical reward hanging in the balance of this dilemma is the capablility of our species to prevent others from dying in agony. Wake up to that reality.
