    Legislating bad science in Utah

    This is absolutely, completely and utterly NOT A DEBATE about abortion.

    Yup - too weird for words...

    Politicos who know nothing about education also make education laws.

    Maybe ignorant people in gooberment who don't know enough to know what they don't know, and chose imbecilic advisors who also know nothing, then sell the whole mess to ignorant voters is to blame for silly little snaffus like this?
    Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

      Absolutely.





      Maybe legislators should be called up like jury duty. Science legislators make science regulations, education legislators make education regulations, etc. You get picked by lotto, and a panel of experts choose the most qualified.

        Those who make the laws rarely understand what they are doing. At first glance it seems only right to provide pain relief to an unborn "child" prior to killing it BUT the science behind it isn't supportive. Lawmakers often respond to faulty logic and most people tend to follow along. (it works with gun control, why not abortion?)

          One would think if said fetus is below the age that it has brain activity, at the least, it couldn't register pain....

            IF one would think in the first place. It is an emotional response without the thought process involved.

                "Pain" is both a physiological response to neurological stimulation and trauma and a mental response that can be completely or partially independent from neurological stimulation and trauma.

                  Totally off topic but this made me think of this

                  Armageddon (1998)

                  Ronald Quincy: I know the president's chief scientific advisor, we were at MIT together. And, in a situation like this, you-you really don't wanna take the advice from a man who got a C- in astrophysics. The president's advisors are, um... wrong... and I'm right.
