Last week, before both sides in this debate had fully dug in their heels, there was talk of a compromise. Since some colonies of stem cells already exist, why not permit funding of research on these cells only? (After all, the embryos had already been destroyed.) Bush adviser Karl Rove, below left, was searching for a way to satisfy Catholics without putting a lid on research. But religious conservatives quickly countered that such a compromise would still mean profiting from the killing of human embryos--and thus propagating a "culture of death." And scientists weren't satisfied either. They...
...closely it almost feels embarrassing-- like seeing someone you know on the screen. Fans of the Clowes original will want the audience to like her even if she's kind of obnoxious and opinionated.

Nobody complains about forcing lawyers to pass the Bar Exam or doctors to slave through at least four years of training before being given the license to operate...
...when you get the first taste of moksha, or enlightenment. It is the sense of the opening of the silence, the sense where you lose yourself and are happy doing it, where for the first time your ego has merged with the superconsciousness. You feel you no longer exist, for you have walked into the valley of death. And if you start walking more and more in this valley, you become freer...
