There is a huge issues with head transplants and the Republicans.

What's Ben Carson have to say about head transplants? Will he consider doing any?

Those are legitimate questions. Ben Carson should know the context this dialogue takes place. I see that reality, which will occur in two years, as a strong moral question. Is a head transplant the same category of organ transplants? Is it in the shadows of genetic medicine, which the Republicans oppose when it comes to working with embryonic tissue.

Do we have another George Bush that will stand in the way of science and medicine? 

I want to know if Ben Carson condemns advancements in medical research. Bush went so far as to criminalize travel to Great Britain if it was to bring a child to doctors there that have genetic answers for chronic disorders that takes a child's life within the first decade. That is the truth.

There is this double standard within the Republican leadership.They back Terri Schivo's gastric tube, but, obstructs travel to the UK (an ally) for parents to receive treatment of their children. I want to know if Ben Carson will take the USA back to the stone age.

Today, there are videos that Republicans embrace that discuss the business of fetal tissue (which is genetic research) as if it is a Frankenstein within the USA. So, when it comes to Ben Carson I want to know what happens to 'the hope' of genetic research in the USA and what his policies will be. I am tired of Republicans being elected because they want to remove medical advances unless it comes in the way of a pill from Big Pharma. 

The idea of successful and fully functional head transplants invites cloning. There are egos and money that will go there. It might not occur in the USA, but, it will happen.
