Stem cell research is something i've found myself interested in lately. It's crazy the amount of things it's been able to accomplish.
You can thank dubya for vetoing that
Every sperm is sacred.
Or something.

Only embryonic stem cells were because of Bush. America now uses induced pluripotent stem cells generated from in this case the patient herself but can also be made from any volunteer skin biopsy.
Because like all things republicans don’t like it.
REEEEEEEE IT COMES FROM ABORTION BLACK MARKETS REEEEEEEEEEEE SOMETHING SOMETHING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!
AND wE cAnT PrOfiT oFF yOu AnYmoRe
Eh, gotta be honest though. Democrats (at the Federal level) love money. Pelosi's latest Visa stock gambit, vaccines, etc. They use the Republicans to stay profitable. Repubs contrive a fear, Dems monetize it. Capitalists at their core. Not looking out for the People. Just wall street. Because they genuinely believe the machine is what keeps us all living our lives, and to love the machine, and why not make some scratch while you're at it?
Honestly, when I first read your comment I read “I’ve been able to accomplish” not “It’s been able to accomplish” and thought to myself… yeah, look, this is good research with tons of benefit potential for the world but maybe these laws are in place because DIY scientists with home labs shouldn’t be messing with it just yet, I mean, that sounds reasonable. The meme provided also kinda could be taken either way in the “I’ve”, “it’s”
But yeah, it took only a few seconds to re-read it and find my mistake. I had figured you were joking with the “I’ve” thing to prove a point, not that you were really experimenting with stem cells at home. Either way, it was a fun mental rabbit hole for about 5 seconds. So thank you.
And I agree with you, we should be funding this type of scientific research.
Ah yes I love performing stem cell transplants in my garage
Yeah, exactly, my brain substituting in the change of two letters and reading it like that caused a double take, especially because the last sentence was where it happened it made the comment feel more like a punchline than a statement.
I also found it interesting in how changing just two letter in an entire comment could change the whole meaning of the comment in my brain.
