I find it greatly disturbing that the Bush administration has used political and religious ideologies to influence national policy on science and medicine.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's time to let science and medicine, not politics and rhetoric, lead us to good, sound policy.
Political ideology can corrupt the mind, and science.
I think religion played a huge part in Bush's re-election.
I think one of the great historical contributions of science is to weaken the hold of religion. That's a good thing.
Some of the FDA's own scientists have charged that politics, not science, is behind the FDA's actions.
Under this president, we have a government that has grown too big, too costly and now even more overbearing by forcing religious entities to abandon their beliefs.
Any suggestion that science and religion are incompatible flies in the face of history, logic, and common sense.
All too often, the word 'religion' has become identified with those promoting a frankly anti-scientific view of nature and of our place in the natural world.
The advancement of all sciences, especially where there has been such a radical change, have been attended with persecution.
Bioethics has hardened into an activist ideology that pervades the medical world, the schools, and government.
