In fact, he didn't even ban that much. He only banned using federal money to finance research from new fetal stem cell lines. People are still free to fund it themselves, or to use federal money researching older fetal cell lines. Many states and private research facilities are funding fetal stem cell research.

ESR makes the same point on his blog, Armed and Dangerous, of course with a big Open Source plug. (Hey Eric, set up permalinks!)
How about regulating editorials? This one was billed as a thoughful examination of the issue, but in reality contained over-generalizations, unsupported assertions, and no understanding of how regulations distort behavior. There should be a regulatory body, consisting of pundits and English teachers, who check each editorial and are authorized to level fines on publishers when the content is likely to be misconstrued or unappreciated by the majority of readers, or when a majority would disagree with the conclusion. Then no one would ever get ripped off again!
