Embryonic Stem Cells Politics

This is a crazy debate mostly because the info people have on this issue is soo poor. The best example of this is in the fact that people believe that in the U.S. you can't do stem cell research. Ha!G. W. Bush didn't stop embryonic stem cell research he just put the earnings into private hands. The press release that he sent says it all, in very sneaky terms. He declared that public funds can only be used on existing cell lines (60 of them). This does not exclude using private money for the research. So what? What if the private sector does stem cell research?
Well how much would you pay to re-attach your spinal cord or cure Alzheimer's? Well if a private company owns the rights to these cures they will be much more expensive than if the research is done publicly. So the pharmaceutical industry supports G.W. Bush's plan since it gives them almost exclusive rights since no one else can afford to do the research. Nice trick huh? As always Bush is looking out for his sponsors not his people.
