Science marches on

Green light for US stem cell work
US regulators have cleared the way for the world's first study on human embryonic stem cell therapy.

The move comes three days after the inauguration of President Barack Obama who has been a strong supporter of embryonic stem cell research.

Since 2001 there have been limits on federal funding for stem cells.

Geron Corp, the biotech company behind the research, plans to initiate a clinical trial in patients paralysed due to spinal cord injury.
Science? Being supported and allowed by the US government? And it has nothing to do with the military or proving Jesus rode dinosaurs? Guh? This all happened three days after Obama people started heading up the US Food and Drug Administration? I don't even know what this feeling is. Head nodding agreement? Happiness? Fear, knowing that one day they'll eventually green light the robots that will enslave us all?

Anyway, drag those stem cells out from that box in the closet, the one behind the porn. You can do science with them again. Thank the God you don't believe in and get to work, I have several activities that are dangerous to my spine that I'd like to engage in without fear over the next few years.
