I'm making more of a reference to the information used during the last election. Reeve made rounds with the Democrats playing up Bush's opposition to using federal money for stem cell research. He made outragous statements leading people to believe that people like him 'could have a cure' if only Bush wasn't stopping it. Complete bullshit. The state of the technology is this, we want to learn what it is about totipotent and pluripotent cells that allows them to become very specialized structures such as muscle or nerve bundles. They were giving people the idea that this would logically lead to the growing of whole organs and tissue replacements within a localized timeframe. That would have been like a scientist saying we need to research transistors so that we can build human-level AI systems.
I'm just saying he gave alot of people a very unrealistic view of what we can do or intend to do once given the ok with this.
