Yes, that makes sense.
But the thing that has me wondering now, and what I was asking was from the rhetorical standpoint.
It seems to me that the reason these right wingers, most notably President Bush, are opposed to embroyonic stem cell research was because Embryo == Human Being. Same reason they're against abortion.
What I was wondering was if they were calling Umbilical stem cells "embryonic" and opposing that based on a turn of phrase. Because I'm all for stem cell research. I'm not, however, in favor of killing children to do so.
