This action by Dr. Frist reminds me of a section of Rush's book,The Way Things Ought To Be.

On page 146, Rush wrote:
"I have come up with a new National Symbol for the United States. I think we need to junk the eagle and come up with a symbol that is more appropriate for the kind of government we have today. We need to replace the eagle with a huge sow that has a lot of nipples and a bunch of fat little piglets hanging on them, all trying to suckle as much nourishment from them as possible."

My problem with stem cell research is if this approach is so promising (and ultimately profitable), THEN WHY AREN'T THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES POURING MONEY INTO IT? I believe the answer is that the promise of miracle cures is a hoax!

One might say that they don't invest because it is not legal to do so. That is true in the United States, but most of the Pharmaceutical Companies are International and there are many countries where there are no such prohibitions. So then why don't they do this research off shore?

I believe this is another tap on the public cash register to fund resarch of those who have an interest in it. In effect what Dr. Frist is doing is grafting another nipple on the sow. I thought he was a Cardiologist, not a Veterinarian!
