Stem cell hype
The British medical journal, The Lancet, which is no conservative organ, has warned its readers of the hype surrounding stem cell research, especially embryonic stem cell research, according to a dispatch from the Cybercast News Service. So great has been the brainwashing that California voters approved the borrowing of 3 billion dollars to finance stem cell research — essentially a gift from a heavily indebted state to the world's medical research commuity. This at a time that California's highways are pot—holed, its schools a mess, and its higher education raising tuition.
