Even though this would be a win for all Americans – and humanity – it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.
I’m a doctor.So is my mother. When she got cancer, I realized how little that mattered.
Republicans have stated budget cuts need to be made with an ever-growing debt. But where was this attitude when tax cuts for the wealthy were on the table in 2017? They don’t have to look at patients in the eye and break the devastating news that they have cancer. They don’t have to treat cancers that block intestines or drown a patient’s lungs in fluid.
If this cure involved animal testing then good it was blocked. Stop all animal testing
Look, you either kill rats or kill people. I love animals, it’s unfortunate we need to experiment on them, but it’s also naive to think we can make progress without doing it. At best one could make an argument for death row inmates to be experimented on, but that would be quickly shut down as unethical and there wouldn’t be enough anyway. There is no way around animal testing, we can only keep it to a minimum.
GOP is completely irrational and hostile. They’re dragging us to hell with them. Assholes.
