Stem Cell Research and the Republican Party Platform

I'm pretty confident that the few readers I have on this blog are well-aware of the ban on federal funds supporting embryonic stem cell research. I wonder though if they are like me and let the change in party platform go by. It seems that the 2008 Republican Party position on stem cell research is for a complete ban (public or private).

Regardless of your position on whether it is "right" for taxpayers to help fund such research, I think it is easy to determine when a political party takes a very totalitarian approach to an issue of little relevance to the daily functioning of a society.
