It's all in the article. It should be a rule, you are not allowed to launch into politically charged opinions unless you first read all linked material in the thread.

Actually thats also wrong. Stem cell research is not restricted in the US the laws only porhibit federal funding for research using stem cells from embryo or a fetus.
