Gov. Romney, too liberal to run for president (as a republican), too conservative to govern his state.

A bill to allow more embryonic stem cell research in Massachusetts has cleared the state legislature.

It passed the Massachusetts House Thursday evening by a vote of 117 to 37 -- more than enough to override an expected veto from Governor Mitt Romney. The Massachusetts Senate passed the measure 35 to two.

"Radical Cloning Bill" :icon19: What a fucking idiot. Does this somehow bypass the current federal law, where no new cell lines can be created? They weren't very specific.

Now that our DNA is being copyrighted by big business it won't be long before the genetic culling of the species begins.

Who knows someday it might be illegal for you to fuck someone because the product (procreation) would constitute illegal copying of a gene sequence "owned" by someone else.
Kinda like filesharing...

PH, if you're so inclined you could start a whole new thread on this subject.

Or in your case...they'd just call it rape of a sibling.
