Stem Cell Bill Passes in Australia
nickd writes "Having recently being passed in the Senate by only 2 votes, an Australian bill to overturn the ban on 'theraputic cloning' has now been passed in the House of Representatives by 82-62. The amendment that was seeking to prevent stem cells being extracted from the eggs of aborted late term female fetuses has also been voted down. The changes will allow scientists to create and use embryos up to 14 days old for research."
Everyone knows that 6,000 years ago Australia was created by God as a place where the Hebrews could send "uncooperative" members of the tribe. The fact that this stratergy wasn't follow through with until much later (by a different tribe) doesn't make it any less true. ;-)
"The changes will allow scientists to create and use embryos up to 14 days old for research."
The article failed to mention that after 14 days they will be used to create a Shaky's Pizza for each scientist!

My friend went to visit Australia, but he got into a big hassle with Customs. When he arrived the asked him if he had a criminal record. He said " I didn't realize it was still required"
None of them can see the clouds; The polished wings don't care.
If they wanted to show some real bias, they would have called them dead babies.
No, they would have called them "possible future Einsteins and Ghandis." Although I always get a laugh out of that one since they avoid the "possible future Idi Amins and Stalins," too. Look, mah, no Godwin!
Don't disappoint your bird dog. Go to the range.
What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?
Well, they'd better make room so we can see how low they can go.
Where does the school board find them and why do they keep sending them to ME?
