Excellent.. now we can get back to work at finding cures at the stem cell level for some awful diseases.
And my brothers field (he's a PHD in genetics) will open up to new progressions!
I anticipate many breakthroughs and cures in the coming years.
Why did Bush ban stem cell research anyway? To please the pro-lifers? He never banned abortions... But remember the block on cheaper Canadian drugs to boost the American big-pharma industry? Well stem cell research is a threat to big-pharma as well. It could lead to many cures, eliminating the need for many drugs and hurting Bush's assets in that market.
