That John Martin

The University of Sydney, maker of fine computer scientists, has (sadly) entered into a deal with one of the residential colleges in which the college will renounce rights for some of its land and allow the university to build a new medical research centre with the proviso that it is never used to carry out foetal stem cell research. The agreement doesn’t stop the university from conducting stem cell research elsewhere, which I’m sure it will, but it’s a shitty precedent to set.
