Pioneer firm abandons embryonic stem-cell research
CWN - November 15, 2011
Geron Corporation, a pioneer in embryonic stem-cell research, has announced that it is abandoning that field.

Thank God! Money is always the bottom line, and now the embryonic stem cell researchers can quit wasting it.

I suppose we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth or anywhere else, but it would have been nice if they had abandoned this dreadful line of meddling on ethical grounds instead of simply because it wasn't paying.
