Exactly right, the feds "regulated" 56 MPH out of existence. They didn't "prohibit" anyone from driving at 56 MPH, but they regulated it to where there was no longer any choice in the matter.
Same thing with stem cells. No laboratory in the country can perform scientific research on embryonic stem cells. Because they'd have to close their doors shutted within a few weeks.
