Yes, you'd have to build up a completely different instuition in order to do research unretricted by the Federal ban provisions on fetal stem-cell research.

This is basic research. The kind that helps everyone in the USA -- a damn good use of Federal money. Instead, Federal money is making it harder to do the research.

The fetal stem cells are the least differentiated human cells out there. Learning how to convince them to differentiate and turn into arbitrary tissue is ridiculously interesting research.

Do you object to having the Federal government fund fundamental scientific research? Do you understand the economic basis for why funding fundamental scientific research is a damn good idea?
