This does make me wonder what effect, in terms of privatization of the fruits of the research, this decision may have.
Which is all Bush did. Prohibit public funding.

If there were a profit behind this some private person would fund it. Makes you wonder if Buffet is going to give billions away, why isn't he investing all of it into stem cell research if the result can be a magic cure for every disease known to mankind?
