Odd exception
Wonder what's happening behind the curtains with this development?
Always fun to watch factions of the Left battling each other. Especially fun to hear commie "scientists" talking about their High Church EU in the same words they previously reserved for their 666 Vampire Devil, George Dubya Bush.
But in this case there's something truly strange and inconsistent. EU is always always always on the side of mass death and total genocide in all possible areas of life and science. When an EU court makes a decision that appears to agree with ordinary human morality, there must be some other agenda working under the surface. Bribery by Chinese stem-cell companies? (And come to think of it, was that also the real reason for Bush's oddly complex decision on stem cells?)
Later thought: No, probably not Chinese influence. Most of the Chinese stem-cell work doesn't use embryonic cells anyway, so they wouldn't need to push EU and US to avoid embryonic. In fact such a bribe would be counter-productive, because it would push EU and US researchers to do research that was not murderous. As long as the Western "scientists" were staying within their Mengele comfort zone, they weren't competing with China. ¶ 5:28 AM
British medical researchers have condemned a Europe-wide ban on the patenting of stem cell inventions derived from human embryos...
Scientists expressed their dismay at the decision, saying the ban will act as a huge disincentive for investment in a critical area of research that promises to revolutionise medicine in the coming decades. They said the ban means that their discoveries, often made within universities with public funding, are unlikely to be developed into practical treatments for NHS hospitals because companies will not be prepared to take the investment risk without a guarantee of intellectual property protection.
The judgment [by Euro Court of Justice in Luxembourg] makes no mention of the morality of using human embryos for stem cell research but it comes to the same conclusion as the Catholic Church in its opinion that it is not right to destroy human "test-tube" embryos for commercial gain.
Professor Austin Smith, of the Wellcome Trust Centre ... said: "We are funded to do research for the public good, yet prevented from taking our discoveries to the marketplace where they could be developed into new medicines. The benefits of our research will be reaped in America and Asia."
