I just want to correct this. I donīt know where you get your info but you should check your sources: France is one of the countries that has been dragging its feet about embryonic stem cells and has banned reproductive cloning, as the french PD community could tell you. Also Europe (not just France), or letīs say Europeans, are frightened of the unknown consequences of GMOs. Scientists once told them it was OK to feed cows with meat leftovers. They would grow bigger quicker.....well, this gave us mad cows. Also, the US allows calves to be fed growth hormones to make them grow quicker and europeans are also wary of hormone fed beef, for the same reason. The bigger and faster method is not always the wisest. Fools rush in..... can we go back to stem cells?
