...even less in the way of speed, unless the turnover rate of its governments counts. By showcasing the equipment used by Carlo Rubbia, the exhibition provides an interesting - though less than pertinent - reminder that Italy has produced a Nobel-winning particle physicist. And the bulky fax machines, computers and cell phones featured from the 1980s seem largely irrelevant...
...that often views them as freaks and potential criminals: Bullimore says he's been spat upon, called a "psycho" and had his face slashed with a broken vase by people who know of his condition. In public, some voice hearers mask internal arguments by appearing to shout into their cell phones.

Conservatives struggle to explain why they oppose using leftover frozen embryos for stem-cell research but don't oppose their creation in the first place...
Each new adult-stem-cell breakthrough makes the research easier by offering scientists more options, but advances in genetics make the issue of reproduction harder. Couples can screen out embryos for cystic fibrosis and cancer risk. Should they also be allowed to screen for blond, for smart, for straight or gay? We are on a road toward reproduction that doesn't require eggs and sperm at all. This is a moral wilderness, full of hope and traps.

...2007—would allocate $500 million for the construction of research facilities, $250 million for fellowships and grants, and $250 million in tax incentives over the next 10 years. Aimed at promoting Massachusetts as a center for biotechnology and furthering stem cell research at universities in the Commonwealth, this initiative has the potential to greatly benefit Harvard and Massachusetts. By providing $250 million for fellowships and grants for research, the bill will hopefully serve to help retain more of Harvard’s junior faculty. Often, the temptation to migrate to states where research funding is greater...
