Debating, well, me (McGee) with a self-described bioethicist by his side, he argued that there’s nothing an embryonic cell can do that an adult cell can’t. He’ll be publishing that finding soon. UPDATE: Already the Southern Baptist Press is joining a growing chorus of conservatives in celebrating the first anti-stem cell celebrity.
