issue here. How does not getting this patent prevent them from
continuing their research/work? It seems like this is something
that should be shared across all medical communities anyways.
Not sure why the patent is that important unless they want some
exclusive rights for purely monetary gain.  RE: Finally By zmatt

don't like that decision so they will move the money to a
jurisdiction where they can patent stem cells.  It's pretty
messed up. There was an article here earlier this year talking
about the debate more in depth.
