Nuances in ethical issues wordwide

BBC NEWS | Health | Scientists doubt animal research. I find it interesting, not necessarily odd, that in the UK the anti-vivisection movement is highly active and carry a loud voice, whereas in the US, animal research, although I am not saying it's not an issue, is hardly given a second thought. On the other hand, on the issue of embryonic stem cell research, the UK is a step ahead, both legislatively and scientifically, of the US. In other words, here in the US you find a much louder voice against the use of embryonic stem cells -- not in the least due to the moratorium put in place by the current administration.
