pretending that generation didn't hobble science for anti-intellectual cultists is just bullshit

what happened to stem cell research in the USA exactly?

We lost about a decade of research because of that bullshit. At least.

Meanwhile, my parent gleefully explained that they were writing AN EMAIL to the PRESIDENT HIMSELF using my disease to assuage their feelings as they demanded he not let stem cell research happen. That's a level of mental fuckery I could be happy about disappearing.
