Stem Cell Research in a Judge's Hands

deman1985 wrote to mention a San Francisco Chronicle article discussing the future of stem cell research in California. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine has had a suit filed against it for doling out money to stem cell research groups, and the future of the organization is now in the hands of the Judge on the case. From the article: "The taxpayers groups said that at least five members of the 29-member board have conflicts because they are University of California officials and the school's various campuses have already applied for stem cell grants. Others on the board are biotechnology executives and investors whose investments could benefit from stem cell grants."

This doesn't justify violating the will of the voters in an undemocratic manner.

"left-wing idiots" Most nerds I know are left-wing, most idiots I know are right-wing. Your statement confuses me.
