The reaction of the delegates to his speech is peculiar, at least to me.  They initially seemed schizophrenic about his presence.  His positioning of the issue relative to his audience was skillfully done, ie if you agree with this, you are enlightened and humane.  The mood was precise and comfortable.

I am conflicted on the issues of stem cell experimentation personally.  Overall, I think it is a good idea, with some reservation.  Many thinking individuals are in a similar position.  In fact, there are many thinking individuals on all sides of the issue, Ron Reagan's assertions notwithstanding.  I am not sure that the DNC crowd is thoughtfully reacting to the pitch.  Unfortunately, there's this deep gut feeling I have that they are simply cheering for what they see as another rationale to support abortion.  In other words, that an embryo is not a life, no matter what the argument.
