Somehow it's not a suprize about China getting the brightest minds in the field of stem cells... you could see that coming as soon as they passed the massively restrictive laws about stem cell research in Canada and the US. Eventually Canada/US/Europe will be the 3rd world in terms of new biomedical procedures if they keep passing laws telling people what they can and can't research. Alas.
It's generally called ethics. I'd rather our government not support turning women into baby factories just so they can make money selling the aborted fetuses. Sure there may be some wonderful discoveries just around the corner, but at what price are we willing to make those discoveries.
China has been less than concerned with human rights in the past, and obviously seems to be continuing in that regards....
