Pete Sessions: “With regard to this, we know good people can differ. I certainly believe good people can differ. I don't count myself…”

“With regard to this, we know good people can differ. I certainly believe good people can differ. I don't count myself morally superior to anybody on these questions. I am not a scientist. I certainly haven't studied it to the extent that you or other Members of this body have. Senator Coburn and Senator Hatch and others have studied it. Some have different opinions about it. I don't think it is an insignificant matter that this is a piece of life, a small embryonic life that would grow into a distinct human being. That is what we are talking about providing Federal funds to experiment with. It is not a crime today for a private person or a university to experiment on this, even if it causes people moral and ethical problems, is it?”
