Attn: Michael J. Fox—Your Order of Stem Cells is Ready

In the last election, Mr. Fox used his celebrity to help defeat several opponents of embryonic stem cell research. These candidates did NOT oppose stem cell research in general, mind you. Just the embryo-destroying variety. (A distinction most of the press was unwilling or unable to make. "Candidate X opposes stem cell research..." we heard over and over.)

Well now that Mr. Fox's friends have won, we get a little peak at our Brave-New-World future via the Ukraine:

From the BBC—
"Healthy new-born babies may have been killed in Ukraine to feed a flourishing international trade in stem cells, evidence obtained by the BBC suggests.

Disturbing video footage of post-mortem examinations on dismembered tiny bodies raises serious questions about what happened to them.

Ukraine has become the self-styled stem cell capital of the world.

There is a trade in stem cells from aborted foetuses, amid unproven claims they can help fight many diseases.

But now there are claims that stem cells are also being harvested from live babies."
