The Woes of Proposition 71

What a debacle Proposition 71 is fast becoming. This article by the Christian bioethicist Nigel Cameron lays only part of it out. California is going billions in debt while our emergency rooms shut down for lack of funds, as we pay fat cat Big Biotech companies and their university collaborators billions for morally controversial research, that even if it does work, appears decades away. And now, Governor Schwarzenegger has vetoed a modest measure that would have protected women from exploitation for their eggs and permitted a state audit of how the billions of taxpayers’ money is being spent. This would be funny, if it were not so painful.
