Of course, John Edwards knew the real reason for supporting embryonic stem
cell research when he claimed it would get Christopher Reeve out of his
wheelchair:
enrich patent lawyers and some biomedical researchers.

It's been interesting to read the CYA statements that some of the California
initiative supporters have been making lately...about how embryonic stem
cells may do nothing for decades...(CYA language for "way too long
to do you any good")
