Once apon a time there was a tiny cell. this cell was fertilized and grown in a lab, with the intent of saving lives. You see this was a magic cell, a cell that could take on the properties of whatever cells were missing in a person's body. A man with a damaged spinal cord could have the nerve cells regrown with this magic cell and then he could walk again. A woman without sight could have her eyesight restored with this magic cell.
You see however there was a league of wizards, called the Church who thought that this little cell was evil. The Church said that since that cell could grow into a baby, it could not be used to help the people who needed. Doctors who used the cell were then forbidden from getting money and would have to find their own way to get the cell to the world.
So dear readers the cell and others like it are merely thrown into the bio waste and are not used. For using these cells would be evil and wrong in the eyes of the Church, but disposing of it is right.
What of the blind woman and man who can't walk? One is still blind and the other still cannot walk and doctors are doing their best to find a newer less useful cell to see if that can help. They have yet to find one, though there is hope.
But shouldn't this is privately funded then if it does cause much conflict?
