Big Biotech’s Pitch for Corporate Welfare

Big Biotech Breakfast

There is more truth to this anti Amendment 2 commercial than its supporters would care to admit. Private investers are generally shunning cloning and ESCR. That is why Big Biotech and its business and ideological fellow travelers at major universities demand a blank check in federal and state funding—and denigrate anyone who disagrees as “anti science.”

Missouri voters: Don’t be fooled, don’t be bought. Vote no on Amendment 2. You’ll be glad you did.

(I agree with this message, but I think the image of the scientists zapping the monkey with electricity was gratuitous and unfair.)
