Steve..not a direct tie to the question that you asked Jim, but the attached article points out and gives those who oppose stem cell research another issue to bring into the mix. I wish issues like this wouldn't be brought into the fray, as we need unencumbered true medical research into whether or not stem cells can address certain medical needs.

Sadly...this is happening in Texas....

Steve-

Concerning your stem cell question, my take is that we are in inning 2 or 3 in a nine inning game in which a lot of runs are to be scored in both the early and the later innings. There is no doubt that cell and organ replacement via stem cells is a desirable approach towards longevity and self preservation. I do not follow this research space closely, so I do not have opinions on the companies involved. My thoughts are that this is a tough area. IP on cells, as well as know how on how to stop cell growth, are and will continue to be very important.
