the embroyes created for stem cells are really really really small. it's not like they are made by "making love" it's a scientist poking around with sperm and egg. it's about as alive as toilet bacteria.

and about the paying for drugs things. in britain all perscriptions ar the same price (unless you are in full time education, disabled, long term sick, old, on unemployment benefits in which case they are free) and we do fine with lots of research.

in a way i do hope america doesn't legalize it. then we can lead the way and when america decides that it might be a cool idea it will be on our terms unless they want to do a few years of research.
