| President Bush reshuffled his advisory council on cloning and related medical issues on Friday, adding a prominent neurosurgeon known for his work on conjoined twins and two conservatives who have spoken out strongly against cloning.
He replaced one of the most prominent scientists on his Council on Bioethics, cell biology expert Elizabeth Blackburn of the University of California San Francisco. The Australian- born Blackburn has spoken in favor of so-called therapeutic cloning in which cloning technology is used for medical and biological research. |
Bush has a confidence-boosting way of dealing with issues - just keep rearranging the advisors until they say what you want them to say.
Why even have advisors? Seems like a waste of taxpayer money to me.
| Earlier this month 60 leading scientists and philosophers, including Nobel laureates, backed a Union of Concerned Scientists report that accused the Bush administration of distorting scientific advice to fit ideological goals.
The White House denied this and said it was seeking a variety of opinions on medical and scientific subjects. |
And will continue until it finds the ones it wants.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
