Small positive sign
A major rich foundation with a Hollywood name has declared that it's not going to put any more money into stem cell research. The Parkinson's foundation associated with Michael J. Fox says that they've been exploring this line long enough with no meaningful results, and they'll be focusing elsewhere from now on.
Good. Mere facts change nothing. When cool people with Hollywood connections and lots of money change their minds, everything changes.
It's been clear from the start that embryonic stem cells were nothing more than a way to justify killing babies. American "scientists" forged ahead with vigah on ESC because they love to kill babies, and ESPECIALLY because the partial prohibition on such research had the Bush name on its label.
Now that the restrictions in America have been eased, and now that all regulations have Obama on their label, it's no longer cool to taunt the regulators.
American "scientists" may actually have to start doing actual science with actual results, but I'm not holding my breath. It's more likely that sane Chinese and Russian scientists will continue to get the real results. ¶ 10:03 AM
