here's a conspiracy theory for you. Maybe the conservatives are so against stem cell research is because it actually can cure disease and not just treat it.
The big business of pharmaceuticals, who is a major backer of the rep party doesnt want to see cures, but rather costly treatments. It's quite possible this is why there is such a "moral" dilema with stem cells--because by putting a moral and religious spin on it, it covers up who is actually stifeling the progress.

Believe it or not many people believe the same thing that's why it's so fucked up because the patents aren't owned by American companies making it extremely difficult for the pharmy's to jack their shit. They also realize that they too can benefit from these miraculous stem cell treatments and if they fuck it up they won't get cured. I don't care how greedy you are, if your ass is up for grabs you'll turn on your own mammy to get treatment.
The only conspiracy here is the fact that the foreign companies are making headway 5 years ahead of the U.S. I'm betting the stonewalling here isn't about pharmaceutical dollars but for foreign company establishment money to avoid taxes.
