I can't believe you fell for the head fake, SAM.
While you raise cogent points, nothing in the stem cell debate has anything to do with spending more or less money. It has to do with placing restrictions on money that is already being spent. Changing the law isn't going to cost you, me or Hank one more dime than it does now, and might save money in that it will eliminate costs that come from research facilities maintaining two artificially seperate research programs so that one can get federal funding and one can actually do cutting edge stuff to save wonk's life.
ET spell cogent correctly. Hey, I went to public school.
