mayoraaseiOf all the narrow-minded, paranoid, ill-informed proclamations to make in public.
I don't think there was ever any suggestion that stem cell research would be panacea to all our current medical problems, but it's always been an essential step for understanding a lot of genetic and developmental problems, as well as becoming potential solutions to organ transplants, healing of superficial wounds, better population-targeted drugs.......etc.
Can we please vote this government out?!?! Participation in Iraq, rising petrol prices, rising interests, getting rid of student unions (and other unions), selling of uranium to China, AWA, the abortion drug debate, stem cell research debate....
And these are just the most recent controversial decisions of the last decade of Liberal reign, and leaves out ongoing debate on euthanasia, non-traditional marriage, and plenty of funding problems (while the PM smartly gives himself a payrise).
It just sucks that the alternative isn't even an alternative. If there's light at the end of the tunnel it's far far away.
No wonder Australians so damn apathetic about everything.
Edit: On the other hand, I'm highly amused that they would translate photophobia as "dislike of bright lights". HAHAHAHA. I guess light sensitivity just doesn't sound cool enough. The rash is supposedly indicative of meningococcal, by the way (and usually indicative of "you're just about too late to be saved", which sucks).
God, I'm not sure why they even had to dumb down the symptoms. Don't you guys all watch House? =P They even changed fatigue to tiredness =_______=;;;;;;; I suppose I should be glad they kept the "nausea" instead of changing it to "feeling dizzy".

Date: 2006-08-20 01:30 pm (UTC)Yes let us vote out this crappy government! However, what other better government could we have? The internal conflict in the Labour party does not make them seem like they can lead a country at all. Sigh, it's choose between something really bad and something worse. :(
