This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Koreans Report Ease in Cloning for Stem Cells - New York Times:

"South Korean researchers are reporting today that they have developed a highly efficient recipe for producing human embryos through cloning, and then extracting their stem cells."


This, being the flip side of globalization for which we should be thankful, scientists able to work on important discoveries even though one country has decided its not for them.

But, as with runaway exploitation of workers by nation-hopping multinationals we should look to an international solution to dealing with the bigger issues. I always thought it odd that we would gladly import goods made under conditions that we would never tolerate in our own country. Will we just as gladly embrace the knowledge gained by means that we have determined to be unethical?

We pretend like the downward trend in labor and environmental protections are somehow "natural" but I doubt we'll see the same reaction to nation-hopping scientists running to wherever they might to pursue any kind of renegade research they desire.

Can we scream "regulation" in unison?
