Funding Stem Cell and Cloning Research -- No on Prop 71

Good summary against Prop 71.

The thrust of Francis Fukuyama's argument is rooted in good government economics as he blasts "a huge, self-dealing giveaway of money from cash-strapped California taxpayers to a small group of institutions and companies that will remain largely unaccountable."

The argument is compelling, but the stronger argument to me is the lack of any medical research imperative as I've discussed previously.

The real closer, of course, is the moral argument.
