Meanwhile funding for stem cell research is suppressed in this country while China takes the lead. It takes a lot of "faith" to delude oneself into believing religion isn't responsible. When a religionist does something bad, that's just "human nature". When a religionist does something good, thanks religion!

The real miracle is anyone in this country deriving any benefit in this country from stem cell therapies with a highly organized network of zealots working hard to keep it from happening.
