Yeah, and that is why the US is not doing this. Sorry, but I am pretty sure the same people who think a woman's sex organs stop working during legitimate rape are probably not close to educated and nuanced enough to know the difference in stem cells. You are blaming the wrong people, and you really need to look at the right for why science is held back in america.
Liberals are all for science until it interferes with their political agenda or their worship of nature.
Liberal attitudes toward energy are irrational and anti-scientific. Progressive liberals tend to be antinuclear because of the waste-disposal problem, anti–fossil fuels because of global warming, antihydroelectric because dams disrupt river ecosystems, and anti–wind power because of avian fatalities. The underlying current is “everything natural is good” and “everything unnatural is bad.” Wholesale starvation, disease, and death would be the results of an energy policy based on their ideas.
Liberal attitudes toward GMOs are insanely and irrationally anti-science. They categorically reject all scientific evidence to the effect that GMOs are not harmful. GMOs will be key to a second green revolution, which will be necessary to feed the world's populations. Opposition to GMOs is as suicidal as it is crazy.
On climate change they are in the process of ignoring data that doesn't fit their preferred narrative. They refuse to acknowledge, for example, that there has been a 15 year lull in warming. They refuse to acknowledge that climate models have proven to be inaccurate. They refuse to acknowledge that almost all of the predictions of previous IPCC reports have proven wrong. They refuse to acknowledge the growing disconnect between increasing CO2 and warming.
The knee-jerk reaction of liberal environmental groups to species de-listing, which is based on scientific studies of population trends, denotes a strong strain of anti-scientific religiosity inherent in their movement.
