This is a really cool article! I read the wholle story, at least until the reporter began talking about NJ's policy on stem cells. I read the other day (I think on FR), that researchers are discovering serious genetic mutations in embryonic stem cells after a few months. My assumption was that this meant they were basically useless.
Here's a bump Coleus.
In that 'bashing' editorial was the following: "Stem cells, adult and embryonic, are the body's building blocks. Transplanting them to restore body parts that are diseased or injured represents a new type of health care." The writer carefully avoided the full truth, that the embryonic stem cells ARE the body parts of a very young human life, that to 'harvest' those body parts is to kill another human life, that to restore body parts of the older patient, a very young other human must have their body parts ripped from them killing that younger to serve the older. Frankly, that's cannibalism. But it doesn't sound like a bad thing, the cannibalism, when obfuscated in this type of deceitful editorial, does it?
