X-Message-Number: 24988 From: Date: Sat, 6 Nov 2004 07:37:15 EST Subject: Stem cell research There has been a serious (intended) lack of communication in the current stem cell research area. The Bush administration limited goverment funds to current lines of embryonic stem cells. It made it illegal for the federal government to fund new embyonic lines. It did not limit other forms of stem cell research with goverment funds. It did not restrict privately funded research. You know California passed the 3 billion dollar stem cell research proposition. You know the core issue in this is the "right-to-lifers" that are deluded into thinking every embryo has a "soul". They will continue to be the force of resistance to change. They are also likely to be the biggest threat to cyronics (for impeding the souls release) and anti-aging.
