Suddenly there are so many concerned with what a couple or other do with their “leftover” human embryos, demanding they be used for research with the loftly idea they “may” lead to medical advances.

You misunderstand completely. The concern is that we have found a use, a potentially life saving use, that can lead to a deeper and better understanding of human development that relies upon what had up to that point been treated as garbage. What was previously treated as garbage with very little outcry from anyone suddenly ignited a firestorm when what was treated as medical waste was treated as a research subject. People who did not care enough to do or say anything about the embryos being disposed of as medical waste suddenly cared enough to block funding of research using those same embryos and stifle that same research. To someone on the outside that looks more like opposition to science than opposition to destroying embryos since focused vocal opposition only began when a scientific use was found.

In case you hadn’t noticed, “scientific” is newspeak for leftist, and “science” is newspeak for the leftist agenda. “Science” stopped meaning free and open inquiry after Al Gore decided that “consensus of experts” was newspeak for party line.

RIP, science. It was good while it lasted.

Obviously you don’t know any scientists.
