That fact keeps getting lost. There is no ban on Embryonic Stem-Cell research. But don’t let that get in the way…If there was great promise in embryonic like there is in adult stem cell, private companies would already be funding.

If there was great promise in space exploration, private companies would have been doing it from the beginning, it wouldn’t have needed 30 years of federal monopoly to lay the groundwork.

If there was great promise in the internet, private companies would have been funding it from day one, it wouldn’t have needed ARPNET to design the system and develop the packet-switching technology.

If there was great promise in the polio vaccine, or antibiotics, private companies would have discovered/invented them.

If there was great promise in nuclear energy, private companies would have funded the Manhattan project.

Shall I go on?
