Talent's Supporters Can't Tell The Difference Between Nazi Death Camps And The Stowers Institute: Can Jim Talent?
Submitted by Roy Temple on Fri, 08/18/2006 - 7:45am. Jim Talent | Stem Cell
Jim Talent has been telling reporters in recent days that he think the stem cell issue may end up being a net positive for his campaign because it will have the effect of mobilizing his base.

As part of the Talent campaign's effort to work his political base into a frenzy, Talent's political grassroots allies like Missouri Right to Life have set up a series of rallies with Talent's friend, Alan Keyes.

At last night's rally in Cape Girardeau, Keyes equated the research conducted at top notch Missouri facilities like the Stowers institute, "as the moral equivalent of Nazi medical experiments on the inmates of death camps during World War II."

From today's Southeast Missourian:

Alan Keyes, the keynote speaker, said embryonic stem-cell research is the moral equivalent of Nazi medical experiments on the inmates of death camps during World War II.

And despite wording in Amendment 2 imposing harsh criminal penalties on anyone attempting to create a living human clone using the stem-cell research techniques, Keyes raised the possibility of an industrial effort to produce clones.

The result, he said, would be "new legions of humans to be enslaved and brutalized."

So while Jim Talent is running TV ads claiming that he wants to bring people together, and not be disagreeable, he has his political allies out there give hateful speeches like this one.

Shame on Talent.

3. Umm.
Pharmaceutical companies have been using prisoners for years as test subjects. Same with college students.

That's because nobody else is willing to do it.

2. Odd.
Here I was thinking that preventing stem cell research is the moral equivalent of Nazi experiments.

How pro-life is it to refrain from curing diseases?

5. Actually the fact that George and Barbara Bush conceived children was...
...the moral equivalent of Nazi experiments.

6. Keyes is not only inaccurate, but SICK
To compare the two is to equate living, feeling, thinking people to globs of non-conscious cells in petri dishes. Shame on him for equating the suffering of actual people to the destruction of "potential people." That is just sick.
