No is offering it up as a reason that efficient modern Nuclear power plants are not built that far off.
And I am certainly complaining about damn hippies and others who protest nuclear energy.
And said nothing of regulatory burdens on biotech.
I just opposed government funding of anything that raises significant ethical issues and bemoan the scientific community's seeming lack of restraint and curent push to have a better shocking sideshow sudo advancements for more funding rather than starting out addressing concerns and showing the controls in place. The current course certainly eventually will produce something so egregious that the public clamor for regulations and a overreaching clamp down of useful and ethically reasonable progress.
The unabashed hardon I have seen amongst many LOT'ers for unrestrained and perhaps medically & ethically sketchy research concerns my sensibility's more than a bible thumpers moral objections to the same. Holding humans above animals I hope in most of our ethical road maps (although there are I'm sure some animal rights folks here who don't) is only the start of that bag of worms...
