So what did he intend to say?? But it's true, I'm sure there are many people out there who now think that they use "unfertilized embryos" for stem cell research and that doesn't seem to be too bad...

Bill Clinton is stating a fallacy on national television that misinformed millions of observers who are naive about stem cell research. There is no such thing as an "unfertilized embryo"...because by definition an embryo is fertilized. It is the responsibility of the networks to make sure that information disseminated over the airways either by news reporters, interviewers and interviewees is correct. Sanjay Gupta is an MD and should have known better....the fact that he did not correct Bill Clinton during the interview demonstrates unspeakable ignorance and a lack of diligence and responsibility on his part. it is more embarassing for Dr. Gupta to have remained silent than it would have been for him to correct Clinton. CNN needs to issue a correction to its viewers.
