Really, from scholar.google.com Results 1 - 100 of about 3,670 for diabetes "embryonic stem cells". (0.19 seconds) http://www.antiwrap.com/?1040 That's one hell of a lot of no results. And that's only for diabetes, when I add in other search terms like Parkinson's, or paralysis, the number of search hits and citations go well beyond 10,000. >I think he should cut >some pork and spend more money on embryonic research also but at least >he's still funding it.
