Gee, I wonder why the media never reports this stuff to the voting public?

In addition to that, I think most people forget that the debate in our government is most often whether or not the GOVERNMENT will fund research. There is privately funded research going on already. If the complaint is that there isn't enough funding, one would have to ask why not. If a private company saw great potential in stem-cells, wouldn't they spend their own money in researching? Apparently these large (and often castigated for making money) companies either 1) have enough funding or 2) don't see a reason to funnel more of their money towards stem-cell research.
If cures or treatments might even POSSIBLY exist, trust me, those companies would spend tons of money on it, particularly with the common diseases that people frequently claim would be helped by stem-cells (Type I diabetes, alzheimer's, parkinson's, etc.). So much of our population would need those treatments or cures that the companies would certainly make money off of a cure or treatment.
