Religion + Government = Disaster

The British Houses of Parliament, LondonImage via Wikipedia

So the human embryo research Bill is being voted on in Parliament soon, with the news that Labour MPs are to get a free vote on it.

The Catholics have stuck their oar in again, saying that if the bill is passed, then it will be no more than murder, destroying the 'sanctity of human life'.

Bullshit. What destroys the 'sanctity of human life', is telling a terminally ill person they're going to die because some religious zealots refuse to let science advance, because a bunch of cells (unable to live unaided btw) would 'die' for it.

Yet another example of religion + government = disaster.

Let's just let every MP vote with their conscience, would be nice to see some actual democracy for a change.
