Scam-Cell Research

That's what I'm going to call it from now on. Let's see if we can make the name stick.

Here in California, where voters were blinded with (junk) science into voting for Prop 71, the pigs are already lining up at the trough.

Five people who worked on the stem cell initiative that voters approved in November are among the first eleven employees of the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine, which will dole out $3 billion in stem cell research grants

Update:

Looks like it's not original with me. Another blogger, at least, is using the name.

With the unfortunate help of their new governor, Californians signed a check for $6 billion for Idiotic Scam Cell research. 23 years and no breakthroughs – no wonder the vulture capitalists want the good people of California to take the risk so that they can spend theirs on Ferrari F430s. Vroom! (emphasis mine)

So what if it's obvious? I still like it. Pass it on!

Meanwhile, I wouldn't mind one of those myself...
