Not being a huge fan of organized religion, I was surprised to find myself listening to NPR’s Speaking of Faith.

On today’s show, they were discussing Islamic religion and had some excellent points / interviews.

This is an commentary piece on MSNBC’s Web Site from Jonathan Alter on why he feels President Reagan would have been in favor of stem-cell research.  It is very moving and yet practical at the same time.  Click here for the story.
