The battle over embryonic stem cell research is over. A few skirmishes will no doubt continue -- perhaps even for years -- and some ESCR advocates will refuse to acknowledge defeat. But they have decisively lost.
Years from now, when we look back in astonishment at having been fleeced for billions to pay for therapeutically worthless research, we'll recognize that California was the Waterloo for ESCR.
In 2004, California approved Proposition 71, a ballot measure that would allow the state to borrow $3 billion for ESCR.

Had he been born two days later, doctors would have worked to save his life. But the cutoff age for a premature baby under Britain's National Health Service rationing guidelines is 22 weeks. Forty-eight hours denied Jayden the lifesaving healthcare that he needed to live. Even without it, he breathed on his own for two hours before dying. In spite of his mother's pleas with doctors to save his life, they refused to offer even the most remedial care—granted saving Jayden would have been a strenuous, uphill fight.
