I did a one hour interview about Amendment 2 today to 99.3 FM, in Columbia, MO. We discuss the Michael J. Fox deception, the fact that Mr. Jim Stowers is trying to buy his own constitutional amendment in MO, the deception of Amendment 2, the junk biology shoveled by the initiative’s proponents, what Missourians can learn from California’s Proposition 71, and we even get into New Jersey’s law that would permit cloned fetal farming. I point out that the science leadership is becoming hubristic and arrogant because the stem cell fight is over which value system will control society, one based on the intrinsic value of human life or a scientism, in which science is seen as leading to Truth. The host, Derek Gilbert, also has a nice riff about using a constitutional amendment to set policy into stone when laws would be better reflections of the democratic will. There is also discussion of the uncontroversial areas of biotechnology as well as the new breakthrough in which umbilical cord blood stem cells created a new liver. If you don’t get enough of me here at Secondhand Smoke, check it out.
