Well it looks like common sense may have prevailed, the bill to limit the research into stem cells has been fairly conclusively kicked to the curb. Hopefully this will open up the flood gates to get this vital research moving along.
As an aside the bill to reduce the time limit on abortion also got a thumping, not quite as bad as the previous bill but nice to see choice is still valued by large sections of the community. It was interesting to read the articles in some of the tabloids about babies born very premature but had been kept alive. While I stand in awe of the skills of the medical professionals involved in delivering a baby 3 months premature the fact that a couple of children got very lucky doesn't seen to be a good basis to change the laws, most babies that premature will either die or suffer serious long term problems.
And the reaction of the bible bashers, find out the people who didn't vote for them and start campaigns to get the ones with the smallest majorities replaced by more considerate (drones) MPs, nice to see democracy in action.
