I am completely for stem-cell research, to the point of, when having to decide what to do with 'leftover' pre-embryos I had stored, I insisted they only be used for research. Of course, part of that decision was selfish-had I chosen donation, the idea of a future sibling of my own children was unsettling. By chosing(actually, telling, since research was not one of the printed options), I did what I thought would benefit others and not waste what had taken me so long to achieve.
The government gives some of the most worthless grants imaginable-take that money and put it to where it may benefit many. Do we really NEED to know and pay for researching the life span of a mealy worm?
