They want a technique/problem that will guarantee funding forever, now that AIDs has leveled out as a "crisis".

This is paranoid rubbish. What percentage of scientists do you think work on embryonic stem cells. 0.01%?

What percentage of scientists do you think work on embryonic stem
cells. 0.01%?

I suspect the better question is "what percentage of scientists WANT
to work on embryonic stem cells?".

I'm not saying the folks in this field are just mercenaries.
But if the field is "sexy" or is envisioned to be some sort of panacea,
then if there's a pot of money, plenty of researchers will arrive.
And I don't blame them for needing the money...seeing how much overhead
is taken out of grants.
