Bush and Stem Cell Research. Why it all goes downhil?

Unless you've been living under a rock these past
years you'll know there's a huge stem cell debate
going on. I am not going to try to explain the problem
here but I will say that it is a difference between
research being funded by the bigger funding source
there is (read US Government) or being funded by
privateers like Pfizer and other private scientific
research laboratories. A publicly funded research will
provide free knowledge whereas a privately funded
research will not necessarily create the best results
but it will also put that knowledge under layers of
patents and copyrights.

Anyway, if you don't know anything at all about Stem
Cell research and the debate then Salon.com has a
fantastic article explaining the nuances of the debate
for the Stem Cell newbie. Check it out: <a
