I hear the stem cells of senators hold the promise for theraputic breakthroughs (actually, no one would believe that).
I wonder where the hell the big money is coming from for the push for embryonic research? The senate wouldn't be giving it the time of day if some big $$$ lobbyists weren't pushing it.
I told a friend last year that "stem cell research" was going to be the next big investment bandwagon. Someone is trying to attract big bucks to this "industry," because banks and dim-witted legislators are always looking for something to invest in that promises to beat the average rate of return. In the 80's it was oil wells, in the 90's it was IPOs - in each case, it's something the money people have to trust "experts" about.

Yeah, senator-derived stem cells are probably the cure for microcephaly, ego deficiency, or diseases like excessive conscience or integrity.
