We need to call them something other than “stem cells” (here in America, at least). Republicans have trained people to assume that stem cells can only come from aborted fetuses, and that will be a major hurdle to overcome for any procedure involving “stem cells”.

If you say that 1+1=2 and they say that 1+1=3, what should be done?

I suppose it depends on your goals - for a child or pet, is it okay to lie to them or simply force the issue, whereas for an adult human, how far should someone go to remove from them the consequences of their own actions?

Interesting article about the changing language surrounding climate change. Like now it's starting to become climate emergency/breakdown/crisis, but before any of that it was global warming, and in the 80s apparently it was "inadvertent climate modification".

Never forget that behind the mobs is a controller.
