Your bias shows right off the bat. "(yes, they do exist)"
Anyways. The idea that conservative are against stem cell research is ridiculous. They don't want human farms to be created so the selfishness of humanity can make themselves live longer at the price of morality.
You turn humans into a cluster of cells and you can watch humanity summarily destroy itself for it's own greed.
The comment "yes, they do exist" was meant to be sarcastic. The Repubs are always saying that virtually all professors are liberals, or worse. Actually, there are a lot of conservative professors, especially in science and engineering.
Your comment about stem-cell research shows that you don't know much about it. Even Nancy Reagan supports it, BTW. (Although I think you meant to say "The idea that conservatives are NOT against stem cell research. . . ")

My husband's closest colleagues (the American ones) in his scientific field are almost all conservatives.
Professors should teach unbiased facts and let the receiver of those facts make up his/her own mind about how they feel about the subject.
What professors should do and what they actually do are two completely different things. I listen in on allot of university lectures via Podcast U, and I am frequently amazed at how some apparently brilliant professors can make extremely stupid mistakes that were inspired by pure bias.
I have actually heard a professor claim that ancient Egyptians could not write therefore the story of Moses is a fake, and not ten minutes later talk about hieroglyphics found in pyramids.
While the existence of ancient writing may not prove the story of Moses, a professor that one moment is claiming the ancient Egyptians could not write and ten minutes later admitting that they could proves that at least one liberal professor is a bias idiot!
I think you need to read the title of the thread and then rethink that line of "reasoning".
I won't hold my breath.
Anyway, I deleted my post before you posted this; I guess you were too quick. I had decided, after reading your reply to Katiana, that you aren't interested in discussing rationally, and that it was just better to not engage you.

No the argument is stem cell research is fine as long as you leave out the farms of human embryos only made for the greed of "eternal life"
Conservatives are not against stem cell research. I am not against stem cell research. I am against farms of human embryos created in the attempt to find well of life. It's counter productive to create and destroy to gain the ability to create...

We are not against the types of stem cell research that has actually shown promise like adult stem cell research and cord blood stem cell research.
Those two kinds of stem cells had produced almost 100 different medical treatments last time I read up on the subject. The only things that embryonic
stem cell research has produced in rampant cancer growth in lab rats, and tons of controversy. Contrary to popular belief anyone who wants to can do research on embryonic stem cells they just can't get funding from the government for it. If embryonic stem cell research was half as promising as the media says medical companies would be fully funding it, but they are funding the most promising research instead of the politically correct one.
This new idea that conservatives are against intellectualism is irrational in itself. Without getting into the broad generalization in the mid 80's conservatism was rampant. Liberalism was the minority. When in a minority humans tend to feel they want to get the word out. The will be embolden by feeling their ideals are disappearing and will feel the need to voice their opinions the loudest. It's only inevitable to see a growth of liberalism in the college's. The exact opposite will reign true when when conservatives become too much of a minority. The education system is on a continual revolution just as anything else. You can't think you have a monopoly on humans because they will prove you wrong every time. Even to the point of their own demise.

"Above all, Mencken was unfair, outrageous, mean, savage, misanthropic, and possessed nothing but contempt for the average American.
