    if a cloned fetal stem cell is grown in a petrie dish, why do i need to appease a fundamentalist? i want to buy edible cloned human fetal stem cells for personal consumption. it is not cannibalism, because the cells are not human beings.

    clined human fetal stem cell caviar is a delicacy and not cannibalism, by virtue of the reason that they are not human beings. if i can sell hair clippings, i can cell human caviar.
