McCain’s stance on stem cell research is slippery—he voted for HR 810, to provide funding for adult stem cell research, but not for embryonic research. [CORRECTION APPENDED] Even more important than his vote is the justification he provided: Without federal regulation, scientific exploration will not adhere to ethical standards. It just doesn’t make sense. How can McCain want to regulate the very “sphere of enterprise” that he also wants to keep free and private...

And merely funneling drugs to the youngest patients won't stem the growing tide of children infected with HIV - the most common source of new infections among children now is through mother-to-child transmission at birth. Without proper prenatal prevention programs aimed at young mothers, the number of children newly infected each year will continue to climb. Once they reach...
