Federal funding ban for embryonic stem cell research repealed

This is a step forward for science, and with some of the world's best scientists and facilities in America, hopefully the extra funding will boost research in a field that could potentially unlock the key to the cures of some of the worst illnesses and diseases on this planet.

About time, I only worry that the stories about some of the Embryo stem cells producing cancer are not wide spread. But like I said, about time we started back on this.

Edit: I did forget ( thanks to my brain running on like Zero Power ) that the ban originally came about as a careful bi partisan compromise by Bush, as he found a middle ground between the Right and Left. Which really is the only problem I could see with such a repeal.

Apologies to Mr. Brown in order?

I found this one interesting.

It didn't help that Fox News ran an article today filled with falsehoods and general myths about stem cell research that basically called it a cancer-causing tool of the devil and that no good could ever come from stem cell research. I can't be bothered to go find the article, but I wouldn't bother going looking for it; it's offensive to the eyes of anyone who has any knowledge of science whatsoever.

Also, I don't really care that Brown received a snub from you Yanks, I'd expect you'd treat any unelected dictator with no accountability or mandate the same way. The fact is, Britain isn't the great empire it was 50 years ago. We're no longer at the forefront of the world, and frankly, with a joke like Brown in power, this country is never going to be seen as a leading country.

It's not just Fox News running it, ABC Radio also had a news burst about it, which is why I was able to hear about it while at work.

Looks like it is based off of this AP article from Feb.

That may be your feelings, but it is just like the shoe throwing thing, you may not like the guy but you respect the office. In this case Brown is the Prime Minister and a representative of America's biggest ally. Just having fun sitting back and watching this disaster happen * Waves Popcorn *
