People who are in power make their arrangements in secret largely as a way of maintaining and furthering that power.
We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving not destroying human life. Therefore I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.
Further for once I like the idea that people who think I'm a constant voice for the furthering of the imagination have to see that interest in a more materialistic fashion.
