PANKAJ MISHRALONDON — In 2001, President Bush restricted federal financing for stem cell research. The decision, which was shaped at least partly by the Republican Party's evangelical Christian base, and which disappointed many American scientists and businessmen, provoked joy in India.

"If Indians are smart," the magazine said, American qualms about stem cell research "can open an opportunity to march ahead."

I wonder if people are interested in health care
That is a really informative post you got here. I think we indians associate everything with gods.

I am sure Bio-Technology will become famous. But I dunno how much it will affect our society.
