Mouse Trap

Who knew that the stem-cells approved for research by the President (of which there are only 11 lines) were grown with the aide of cells from mice? Thanks to a fundamentalist approach to science that values the "lives" of embryos frozen in a refridgerator in New Jersey that will never be implanted for conception purposes over, you know, actual living people, scientists in this country can choose between mouse-human hybrid stem-cells or nothing at all. Meanwhile, the rest of the world can get a head start on actually curing diseases because they value actual living people more than their far-right wing base vote.
