I tried to post a comment in response to this ill informed drivel, but sadly all I got was the box requesting you type in the random letter/number combo over and over. Maybe its been flooded by rational responses from this site and they don't want any more. Mind you, most of the muppets that I've met that read the Daily Mail wouldn't understand half of what is posted here anyway.

CJ22 There is a school of thought (and sadly I can't remember where I read this) which postulated that one of the major contributing factors for humans giving up the hunter/gatherer existence for farming was that as a species we learned how to get drunk when some wild yeast got into some fruit or grain and water and fermented it. As you have to be in one place for a couple of weeks or so for the fermentation process to complete and also, given that getting tanked up was pleasurable; the whole social group would want to get involved and more fruit/grain was required than could be found growing naturaly. Thus were the twin human activities of farming and the Friday night cave crawl born. Hooray!

"It'd be ironic when someone close to him suddenly becomes ill and would benefit from stem cell research. What would he support then?"

Or in fact if he himself became ill with a progressive brain disease which gradualy shut down his higher functio..........Oh; hang on

I too echo the sentiments expressed by Steve N and sincerely hope that this new council will give courage and support to the many who live in fear of reprisal should they voice their dissent.
