Current song lyrics
"A gallop snapshot poll taken immediately after President Bush's speach on<br />funding embryonic stem cell research last night shows that half of Americans<br />approve of his decision, 25% do not, and still another 25% are not sure what<br />to think."<br /><br />"Most people don't even know what stem cells are."<br /><br />"Who is going to scream the loudest? Will it be the right-to-lifers or will<br />it be the scientists? And now what is going to happen is there will be a<br />tremendous amount of lobbying in Washington, D.C.: scientists,<br />entertainers, people who want to see this research - will be coming forth."<br /><br />"I am concerned about it. Christopher Reeves is concerned about it.<br />Everyone is concerned about it. The big question is do the ends justify<br />the means? When we talk about research, yes, we can cure a lot of things...<br />speculatively. But, where is the proof?"<br /><br />"These developing human beings that you are talking about, these embryos,<br />were produced in an artificial, scientific environment. In vitro<br />fertilization is not God's will."<br /><br />"That doesn't make them any less human, though, after that happens."<br /><br />"We are on a road where we really don't know where we are going as far as<br />what's next. We are talking about harvesting embryos. We are talking about<br />this, we are talking about that, but what is the cost?"<br /><br />"How could we possibly abandon the research?"<br /><br />"That is right. That is the old question? If you think the research is good<br />then you may not have a problem with it. It is only if you think the<br />research is questionable that you get defensive about it. (You do have time<br />to research these embryos later if we choose to do so. While people are<br />suffering, we are not truly certain that this will provide a cure.)"<br /><br />"And there was a great outrage in the conservative churches... You cannot<br />use developing humans... At that point in time they turn into humans."<br /><br />"I feel that abandoning this research could be a mistake. Researching this<br />may allow us to save other lives or at least to improve the quality of<br />lives."<br /><br />"We do not have the answers, yet. We need to put the money where we will get<br />those answers in the future. Listen, we are out of time."<br /><br /><br />What if someone said<br />Promise lies ahead<br />Hopes are high in certain scientific circles<br />Life won't have to end<br />You could walk again<br /><br />What if someone said<br />Problems lie ahead<br />They've uncovered something highly controversial<br />The right to life is strong<br />Can't you see it's wrong<br /><br />Human kind has reached a turning point<br />Poised for conflict at ground zero<br />Ready for a war<br />Do we look to our unearthly guide<br />Or the white coat heroes<br />Searching for a cure<br /><br />Turn to the light<br />Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates<br />Turn to the light<br />Turning away would be a terrible mistake<br /><br />Anarchistic moral vision<br />Industries of death<br />Facing violent opposition<br />Unmolested breath<br /><br />Ethic inquisitions breed<br />Antagonistic views<br />Right wing soundbyte premonitions<br />In a labyrinth of rules<br /><br />Are you justified<br />Are you justified<br />Are you justified<br />Justified in taking<br />Life to save life<br />Life to save life<br />Life to save life<br /><br />This embryonic clay<br />Wrapped in fierce debate<br />Would be thrown away<br />Or otherwise discarded<br /><br />Some of us believe<br />It may hold the key<br />To treatment of disease<br />And secrets highly guarded<br /><br />Are you justified<br />Are you justified<br />Are you justified<br />Justified in taking<br />Life to save life<br />Life to save life<br />Life to save life<br /><br />Humankind has reached a turning point<br />Poised for conflict at ground zero<br />Ready for a war<br />Do we look to our unearthly guide<br />Or to white coat heroes<br />Searching for a cure<br /><br />Turn to the light<br />Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates<br />Turn to the light<br />Turning away would be a terrible mistake<br /><br />We're reaching<br />But have we gone too far<br /><br />Harvesting existence<br />Only to destroy<br />Carelessly together<br />We are sliding<br /><br />Someone else's future<br />Four days frozen still<br />Someone else's fate<br />We are deciding<br /><br />Miracle potential<br />Sanctity of life<br />Faced against each other<br />We're divided<br /><br />Should we push the boundaries<br />Or should we condemn<br />Moral guilt and science<br />Have collided<br /><br />Turn to the light<br />We defy our own mortality these days<br />Turn to the light<br />Pay attention to the questions we have raised<br /><br />"One of the big questions that still remains for me, though, is that all of<br />these embryos that are sent or will be discarded - is this worse than just<br />throwing those away?"<br /><br />"You do not know that all of these will be discarded. All of a sudden you<br />say which ones will be discarded. And all of sudden you have people being<br />solicited for parts of their anatomy. Then they harvest parts of people's<br />bodies. That is how it starts."<br /><br />"People are not soliciting; there are fertility clinics that have extra<br />embryos."<br /><br />"The research is a scientific advancement. I know we are going down a road<br />that we may not know where we end, but that is exactly what science is all<br />about. I am very sorry, but I do feel sympathy for those whose spines have<br />been severed... There is a possibility that we might be able to cure them. I am<br />concerned about a cure for juvenile diabetes and if these types of<br />scientific advancements can cure these diseases, then quite candidly, I think<br />there ought to be at least what President Bush has said: some limited<br />research."<br /><br />"Stem cells come from developing human beings and they should not be<br />experimented on in a way that doesn't make sense or that is unethical, but at the<br />same time there is great promise."<br /><br />"I have a 28-year old son - her grandson - that is paraplegic. And if there is a small<br />chance that my son can be able to have any feeling and be able to walk, then I am for it."<br /><br />"Human beings have been evolving for tens of thousands of years and we are<br />just injecting cells from embryos into people's brains. And, how do we come to<br />do something like that?"
