Week 5 of the editorials

This week’s article, titled A Moral Stand, was a call for action. The author asked President Obama to make a decision concerning stem cell research. Obama had recently pronounced that “federal funding” could “go forward on a much broader scale”. However, the author of the article points out that the President’s decision was too vague to be of any substantial help. What the author truly wants is for the President to make a choice, no matter what it may be, and explain it to America.
I agree with the author that it is not too much to ask of the President to make a clear decision concerning this issue. I understand that Mr. Obama needs to be a little fuzzy about some of his specifics, because he does not want to upset any of the American citizens with his decision. However, he needs to let his country know just where exactly they are going on this path we call stem cell research. It is a difficult position that the President is in, and I, for one, am glad that I do not have to make this decision.
