(voiceovers):
A Gallop snapshot poll taken immediately after President George
Bush's speech on funding ebryonic stem cell research last night
shows that 50% of people approve of his descision, 25% do not, and
still 25% aren't sure what to think.

Most people don't even know stem cells are.

Who's going to scream the loudest?
Will it be the right tiger?
Will it be the scientists?
And now what's going to happen now is that there will be a
tremendous amount of lobbying in Washington DC: scientists,
entertainers, people who want to see this research, people will
be coming forth.

I'm concerned about it, everyone's concerned about it; the big
question is do the ends justify the means? When we talk about
research, yes, we can cure a lot of things, speculatively, but
where's the proof?

These developing human beings that we're talking about, these embryos, were developed in an artificial, scientific environment. In vitro fertilization is not God's will.

That doesn't make them any less human though, after that happens.

We're on a road where we really don't know where we're going as far as what's next. We talk about harvet emryos, we talk about this, we talk about that, but what is the cost?

How could we possible abandon the research?

Well that's the old question, if you think the research is good...

(song):
What if someone said
Promise lies ahead
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles
Life won't have to end
You could walk again

What if someone said
Problems lie ahead
They've uncovered something highly controversial
The right to life is strong
Can't you see it's wrong

Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes
Searching for a cure

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

Anarchistic moral vision
Industries of death
Facing violent opposition
Unmolested breathe

Ethic inquisitions breed
Antagonistic views
Right wing sound bite premonitions
In a labyrinth of rules

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Taking life to save life

This embryonic clay
Wrapped in fierce debate
Would be thrown away
Or otherwise discarded

Some of us believe
It may hold the key
To treatment of disease
And secrets highly guarded

Are you justified
Are you justified
Are you justified
Justified in taking
Life to save life
Life to save life
Life to save life

Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war
Do we look to our unearthly guide
Or to white coat heroes

Turn to the light
Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light
Turning away would be a terrible mistake

We're reaching
But have we gone too far

Harvesting existence
Only to destroy
Carelessly together
We are sliding

Someone else's future
Four days frozen still
Someone else's fate
We are deciding

Miracle potential
Sanctity of life
Faced against each other
We're divided

Should we push the boundaries
Or should we condemn
Moral guilt and science
Have collided

Turn to the light
We defy our own mortality these days
Turn to the light
Pay attention to the questions we have raised
