Didn't janet just send through a news release about researchers
at the University of Adelaide in Austraila that is waiting for
a shipment of stem cells from Madison, Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin).
(the U Wis. foundation was established with private alumni funding).
they have a technique that works in an animal model,
and want to see if it can be done with human cells.
think of the implications if this research is blocked.
the end of international collaboration on this issue.
standardization and reproducability would become very difficult,
and detours take time.
i thought republicans were for smaller government?
less government interference?
more freedoms?
maybe it just applies to big business...
other areas require their meddling?
i'm worried now!
