Their decision to stop funding to any group that is working with stem cells is also troubling to me.
They certainly have the right to stop funding any group they want. And people have the right to stop giving them money if they don't like the decisions. The decision itself is different than I would have made, but it is not what troubles me. I personally am put off by their obviously politically inspired choice, and then their obvious lying about it. If your convictions are important enough to you to change the way you do business, have the balls to stand up and proclaim it, or at least admit it. Don't deny it. Don't lie about it. Don't manipulate your own rules to try to exclude you don't like, but not hold everyone to those same standard. And have the moral clarity to not be an hypocrite about it. I have been a supporter of a couple of people in the local Mass Race for the Cure, but am rethinking that decision now. On Fri, Feb 3, 2012 at 12:46 PM, Erika L.
