If such self-injury was believed to be deliberate, I believe it could lead to very severe punishment.Bruce Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09615189090601688535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-10349286006879248592010-09-14T10:01:30.588+01:002010-09-14T10:01:30.588+01:00We might have made more progress if we hadn't ...We might have made more progress if we hadn't shot ourselves in the foot, and then in the other foot, and then in the face, over the whole stem cells thing.Xamuelhttp://www.xamuel.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-41159324613104955522010-09-07T01:18:29.296+01:002010-09-07T01:18:29.296+01:00I would like to think that most of medical science...I would like to think that most of medical science is still above board.

We got the fatuous journalism of "she took the pill and then she had a heart attack"; an interview with an American medic of a strangely untrustworthy mien; and someone from the BMJ declaring something-or-other to be "unacceptable".
