Evidence that Science is being Corrupted

The story published in The Scientist about one of the presentations I missed in Albany, shows the utter disingenuousness of Big Biotech's propaganda campaign in favor of ESCR and human cloning. In Maryland, for example, legislators replaced the accurate term "embryo" with the junk term "unused material," in order to pass an ESCR funding bill. And it worked. Shame on the legislators for being so ignorant that they would fall for such a maneuver, and shame on the scientists for being proud of corrupting science by approving the use of misleading language in a debate about science ethics.
