262 new posts since last I looked. What on earth have you people been talking about?

I hope you don't expect me to read them all. Did anything noteworthy happen?

<<Stem cells. Suppose a method is found to allow use of adult stem cells and that they turn out to be even better than fetal stem cells because they can be cultured from your own tissue and hence can be exact genetic matches. They will be just as "really new" as fetal stem cells.

Do you think they will not be adopted because of that?>>

That has already happened. TP won't like it because no dead babies are involved.

Actually, I don't care, because that is a point of a trivial nature. We could forget stem cells. The point I am making is that the conservative culture will reject any idea which runs counter to it's core fundamentalism, that which is sometimes stereotyped as WASP although I acknowledge it is broader in some sense, and more constrained in others.
