Quote from mahram:
And to answer your question on the cures from china. They spend only a small percentage compared to us funding. And alot of international companies get funding from american sources. So there is a cross patch, and they have to abide by american rules to recieave funding. Also universities who get federal funding, the people who do the basic research, cant do embryonic stem cell research b/c they have to follow federal guidelines or lose funding.
ZZZzzzz if 10 years from now, they find a cure, why should those people who protested, who made millions suffer and die be allowed to benefit from a cure.
ZZzzz how would you feel if somebody like Jerry fallwel who protested, decides he needs the cure. Or if his children needs the cure. But for 10 years he protested blocking those cures. And he watched as your children, wife, family died of a dieases that could have been cured? Wouldnt you be pissed as crazy.
If the U.S. finds a cure for cancer due to stem cell research, should they withhold it from all countries and their people who disagree with U.S. policy? You would probably think that the U.S. would, but then you also believe that it is the responsibility of the U.S. to put more funding towards the research. You bitch and bitch about the U.S., and then you turn to the U.S. for solutions. Typical of somebody who lives in a predominantly French culture.
....and there isnt anything americans can do about it
