EU Court Rules Against Stem Cell Patents For Research

LibRT writes with this excerpt from the BBC: "Europe's highest court has ruled that stem cells from human embryos cannot be patented, in a case that could have major implications for medicine. ... The European Court of Justice said in a statement: 'The use of human embryos for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes which are applied to the human embryo and are useful to it is patentable. But their use for purposes of scientific research is not patentable.' It added: 'A process which involves removal of a stem cell from a human embryo at the blastocyst [early embryo] stage, entailing the destruction of that embryo, cannot be patented.'"

Euro zone is profitable

[Anonymous Coward]

Just to remember that the Eurozone trades at a profit, it has more money coming in than going out, even with the interest.

It may be a good talking point to focus on Greece, but it gives a false impression of the Eurozone as a whole. I notice the UK and USA are the ones saying "get your house in order with a Greece bailout" while they're printing money, effectively trying to talk down the Euro without actually *seeming* to talk down the Euro. All the while doing Quantitative Easing.

Quantitive Easing is monetary fraud, where the central bank creates money and buys worthless assets to create a false valuation. Buying up failed betting slips from Wallstreet with freshly printed money.

As for EU = Eurozone, not really, EU covers a much wider set of countries, and several currencies, and is the worlds largest trading block.

BTW, with the Federal Reserve buying failed betting slips from Investment banks, those banks are drawing $5 TRILLION (see link below) in bonuses based on their track record in successful betting!

You may make software worth $100k in value, but although you create the value, the money corresponding to that value is handed basically free to investment bankers by the Federal Reserve.

So I'm not worried about the EU, I'm more worried about the US, and UK and their monopoly money.
