Mike,
Unless you are aware of something I'm not, this is "FUD"
(fear, uncertainty & doubt) spreading. The panels that I'm
aware of have consistently come down on the side of
"a collection of cells, does not a human being make"
and within reason we should be allowed to develop those
into health treatments.
I'm unaware of any decision to "refuse genetic engineering in
health care". In fact I believe the NIH has funded several
groups to develop the vectors that would make gene therapy
much easier in people.
If Kansas has a "no geneticlly engineered people" law
I would like to hear about it.
Robert
