I guess it's about me now. I just object to any profession that lives on
  1. overblown and unrealistic goals in order to secure grants [stem cells]
  2. unending fraud and deceit to secure grants [stem cells]
  3. a history of eugenics and genocide
  4. a tendency to produce monsters who use their science to justify their monstrosity [Mengele, Singer, and now this guy]
  5. low intellectual standards [to a math major, biology classes constitute an easy semester; to bio majors, nontrivial math classes are unthinkable]
  6. low academic standards [failure is publishable].
Otherwise, it's a fine profession.

M.D.s and physiologists

unending fraud and deceit to secure grants [stem cells]

See above. a history of eugenics and genocide

Genocidal biologists? Surely you jest!

a tendency to produce monsters who use their science to justify their monstrosity [Mengele, Singer, and now this guy]

Mengele was a physician. Singer is a philosopher. Got ignorance?

low intellectual standards [to a math major, biology classes constitute an easy semester; to bio majors, nontrivial math classes are unthinkable]

Our math major is 38 required credit hours. Most science majors are 70+. People take math double majors because they're easy double majors, if you're in physics or chemistry.

low academic standards [failure is publishable].

Have you ever tried to get a biology paper published? if not, what do you know?

Fortunately, I know quite a number of mathematicians, and so I can attest that the shallowness and the utter ignorance evident in your post is by no means typical of your field.
