As James madison, principal author of the Constitution wrote, subsequently, "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."
Not only have research costs been borne throughout history by private entities, many of which will profit from their discoveries, the results of stem cell research over many years have not been promising. For one thing, their use seems to promote the growth of cancer cells. Yet, adult stem cell research has shown positive results, without a moral dilemma in the minds of many people.
It is also of note, that in creating a political issue, the promoters of stem cell research using federal funds, have tried to obscure the fact that such was never done before the present administration. Their zeal is very selective, as they are basically dishonest about the issue.
TerminaMorte has pretty much covered it; but, since I went through the sign-up process, here is my take. Your sister obviously has no computer skills worth mentioning; but, her manipulation skills are fine. The real solution will come when she powers down, and goes out and learns some social skills. In the meantime, as a workaround, you should end your responsibility. If she considers your efforts to have resulted in a "piece of crap," then let her buy something good. And, in the future, just let her know that there is nothing more you can do, since it is all just "crap."
