But it isn't harmless, astra, when politicians suppress scientific research because it goes against their "religious beliefs". Until recently, I understand that the US government would not fund any research into stem cells precisely because of religious objections, despite it being an area that has a huge potential for benefiting society. That's why most of the advances in the field have been made in Europe, where no such suppression of research exists.
