Well, a Google search suggests that Novo Nordisk is a regular pharmaceutical company with many diabetic customers. I really don’t have much medical terminology expertise, so I can’t decipher the technical stuff, but embryonic stem-cell research may comprise only a minor part of their operations.

You may be right. He’s corrupt and greedy, and these “consultant fees” are only the latest evidence of that, but maybe he didn’t know about the embryo research.

I wonder what kind of “consulting” he did?

Apparently, Novo Nordisk is heavily into embryonic stem cell research and have a whole page on their website devoted to it.

Romney had to divest himself of stock he owned in the same company in August, 2007 because of the uproar. See the two links below.

Minor or not, it's about tinkering with human life --- for profit!

God doesn't care whether it's a huge hunk or a tiny bit -- we all are His creation, not pharmaceutical companies' assets to be experiemented with.

“Novo Nordisk is a regular pharmaceutical company with many diabetic customers. “

Yes, they are. They make products that are essential for diabetics.

However it seems odd that a sitting governor could be getting consulting fees from anyone.
That’s assuming this story is actually true.

There is so much garbage flying around about all of the candidates as the clock winds down.
