Trying to understand the inner workings of nature, and experimemting on the bodies of murdered people is hardly the same thing at all. Progress is just that, progress. You can’t blame people who conduct peaceful research with the acts of those who use said research to do terrible things. I don’t think that that’s even comparable, Lauren.

I worry that our governemnt truly doesn't...
