How Do the "Phony Cloning Ban" Supporters Respond to This?

Stem cell institute predicts at least 10-year wait for cures

To the dismay of some advocates for the disabled and sick, a draft report issued today by California's $3 billion stem-cell institute says the agency is unlikely to develop cures for diseases or other ailments any time soon.

...the plan -- which must be approved by the institute's board -- cautions that stem cell science remains in its infancy and that much of the agency's time, energy and money will be consumed trying to understand the cells' basic biology. Consequently, the plan concludes, the institute will still be doing early-stage studies on potential treatments by the time its money runs out in about 10 years.
. . .
"One of the points really is to try to educate people about what a long process it is to get any `therapeutic' approved," said [Zach] Hall, [the institute's president], who predicted it might take 15 years before the institute's research results in a medical product.

So how are all those who have been duped into thinking that Danforth and company have "cures" right around the corner going to feel when they see their tax dollars being thrown into a bottomless pit to further careers and research instead of cures and treatments - to say nothing of the grotesque and macabre immorality of killing human life?

People are in for a rude awakening if Amendment 2 passes. Snake oil salesmen are still thriving in Missouri in the 21st century, yet many are too blind to notice. After thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent human beings are murdered; countless women suffer the ill effects of having their eggs "harvested" for money; and millions of public dollars are siphoned off to fill the pockets of the greedy - only then might we see a return to sanity in our state.

Why would any state want to become a clone of Kalifornia?
