(including Bush), that too from Ivy league schools. Similar to TN politics where you can see so many B.A. B.L.'s, in US too most Congressmen have a law degree. I guess the preparation for politics starts right from there. It helps in the complicated affairs of the Capitol Hill including lobbying and law-making.Rajuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418250195928583761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-9086830557599749372008-05-16T15:48:00.000+05:302008-05-16T15:48:00.000+05:30Oh.. thats interesting..

Apart from the frozen-and-stored embryos after an IVF, some embryos are immediately destroyed if they are found to have 1 chromosome less or more than the desired number of 46. The stem cell researchers are pleading for the usage of those embryos, at least, because they have a technology to rectify the problem and make them to 23 pairs. The Government is not allowing that too. In fact, the US Congress has twice passed a bill, which was vetoed by Bush both the times. There is an understood consensus that whoever the next president, he or she will definitely lift the ban. I support Obama and I hope he acts sensibly in that.Rajuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418250195928583761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-49337168101829721812008-05-13T16:32:00.000+05:302008-05-13T16:32:00.000+05:30hmmm.. ok.. understood.. quite reasonable..hmmm.. ok.. understood.. quite reasonable..Ramyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16249483365868458837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-59764036057515449942008-05-12T21:46:00.000+05:302008-05-12T21:46:00.000+05:30Ppattian, thanks..

At least we can try to spread the awareness among our friends who might otherwise have only a vague idea about the whole issue..<BR/>----------------------------------------------------------------------<BR/><B>Ramya,</B> I am not for the 'luxuroius abortions'. I realized that I haven't mentioned one fact.. that is, a lot of embryos are kept 'frozen' after a successful in-vitro fertilization. The Bush administration doesnt mind them being 'destroyed' but is against their usage in stem cell research. All the scientists agree that, those embryos are more than sufficient for stem cell research for decades. So, it means that one doesn't need to make a fertilization to happen, or an embryo to be formed only for the sake of the research.Rajuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04418250195928583761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-80050075989966552072008-05-11T22:02:00.000+05:302008-05-11T22:02:00.000+05:30hey i wrote a comment 2 days bac..donno y it dint ...hey i wrote a comment 2 days bac..donno y it dint appear...anyways.. <BR/>A nice info to share.. jus before reading tis i got a mail abt abortion in the US wit sum tragic pics.. acc to survey thr r 4000 babies being aborted everyday it seems..<BR/>It took me sumtime to understand the basics of ur post.. thanks to <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stem_cell" REL="nofollow">wiki</A> which had interesting pics relating to the topic.. i lost myself navigating thro the links.. vry interesting.. <BR/>i donno..hv mixed feelings..donno to be for or against it... it feels like being non-vegetarian..Ramyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16249483365868458837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-14424887040082537822008-05-09T07:44:00.000+05:302008-05-09T07:44:00.000+05:30As a researcher, I would agree for stem cell resea...As a researcher, I would agree for stem cell research and I believe we all should make the rest of the world understand the advantages of the same.Naghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805265073157383144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12831397.post-43750834681186805782008-05-08T15:39:00.000+05:302008-05-08T15:39:00.000+05:30Great article.
