If it wasn't passed before what makes you think it will get passed now? Especially so soon after the other one was soundly defeated. :palm:

While the Kingdom of Manticore Reborn agrees that a cooling off period seems to be indicated, we do not care of the ambassador from Wiztopia's tone.
Respectfully,

While no commitees were established to whittle away national funds on stem cell research, the fact remains that nations MUST allow research on the topic to occur and for that to happen scientists require money to do their research. Alot of that money, in many nations, come from government research grants etc and with the resolution in question in play most of that money will be going toward stem cell research rather then other avenues of research merely due to the promotion of and potentially false build up of stem cells as a magical cure to all the worlds woes that resolution #49 helps to build.

:\ This does seem a tad NatSov-ey.

But other then that I believe we know where the government of Mysterious Nation stands in regards to "Stem Cells for Greater Health".

We do wonder if this draft is perhaps too short though?

But we do feel that there is a difference between MUST allow and MUST fund. Must allow is simply saying that it can't be banned.

I don't believe I ever stated compulsory funding... :\
Fact remains that GA Resoluton#49 being in exsistance suggests that research in that field is more important then in any other.

Glen-Rhodes voted against 'Stem Cells for Greater Health' because it allowed nations to ban the use of embryonic stem cells in research and practice. Our view was the resolution did absolutely nothing to advance that area of science, and in fact paved the road for nations to completely cast it into darkness. It praises the potential uses of stem cells, then advocates a ban of the most useful kind. That, in my opinion, is a far more convincing argument than funding priorities.

Probably, but we will argue that this proposal is useless as its repeal if we can pass "Responsible Science Rights Act". That's the plan anyway.
