#1 Weren't we discussing the subject of female menstrual tissue being an ideal stem cell source, and mourning that men had nothing analogous? How nice that the scientists have answered our plaint so quickly!

#2 Low hanging fruit resolves ethical dilemma? Very strange twist I'd say.

#3 Study: Stem cells derived from men's testicles seem to work as well as embryonic stem cells

Wotta surprise. Are you telling me this isn't an obvious line of investigation, and that nobody pursued it until now because they were more interested in winning the political battle against the "fundamentalists"?

Embryonic stem cells "have their own place in biology," Daley said.

Not just a genius, but insightful, too.

#4 To the left, at least in America, the abortion industry must be protected, even at the price of perverting science.

#5 I really don't like the visual "low hanging fruit" and "twist" in the same sentence paints.

But on the other hand (so to speak), since we continue to dither about in the ME, instead of putting an end to the bullshit over there via an ARCLIGHT Strike (The Official Offensive Weapon Delivery System of Choice from Rantburg), we might as well donate our balls to science; we sure as hell aren't using them for anything useful.........

#6 Luckily in Washington DC we have a large number of folks who aren't using their testicles...

#9 So you can get stem cells from male conservatives, liberals - not so much.
