Most of the learned biomedical research folks I pal around with (I work in the kendall area of Cambridge, MA...one of the epicenters of biomedical/genetic research) agree that stem cell research leading to anything useful is a pipe dream. That's also the opinion of one of my friends who is an M.D./PhD here at MIT researching just this kind of thing. I have no problem with stem cell research personally/morally, but I feel that the political polarization of this issue in our last election necessitated some fairly overstated claims as to the feasibility of realizing real benefit from stem cell research. People who are actually "in the know" about the feasibility are staying away.... Shouldn't that be telling us something?
