Tony Blair courts US biotech firms

In the wake of George Bush’s veto of federal stem cell research funding, England’s Tony Blair…

Crippled children and alzheimer’s patients aside, biotech is huge business, with correspondingly strong support from Singapore, Korea, China, and now England.  Thanks a lot, religious fundiecrats.  Just another area where other countries can gain an insurmountable lead.
