"I expect this kind of knee-jerk moral grandstanding from Bush, but the Vatican?"

Old Man

Ivan Andresen,
Music Promoter
"I wish, time and time again, that the Vatican were not composed of the foremost scientists on embryonic research in the world. This makes it very difficult for anyone to argue a case against them, and we are repeatedly left at an impasse."

Old Woman

Kelly Miller,
Stained Glass Artisan
"It serves those scientists right for trying to slip under the Vatican's ethical radar with these disease-eradicating, life-saving experiments."
