Despite the benefits already shown to stem cell research, and the further promise that they hold, Christian lobbyists still fight stem cell research every step of the way. I propose a compromise. Take a nationwide referendum. Let's say 60% of people are in favor of such tax expenditures to support this type of research. Then give researchers 60% of the funding they request. This way, people that have moral objections do not have to subsidize it.

Moreover, once the benefits are tangible, and life-saving or threat prevention techniques are devised, we withold all such treatments from that 40% who refused to support this research. After all, it must have been God's will that their loved ones die when they die--any tampering with medical science would only deviate from that plan.
