I think it really says something that this happened in the US despite Bush being stingy with the federal money for stem cell reashearch. (basically giving none out.)
The rest of the world needs to step up in funding some medical technology.

I actually made a post along the lines of this in the Science/politics thread. The UK spends so little on new science and technology like this and yet it wants to become a world leader. It's not like it's a bad investment, you can stand to make a good return on medical research both socially and financially.

Yeah, i've read somewhere the US spends more on medical research then the rest of the world combined.
Which is pretty sad considering that the EU is a bigger economy then the US.
Obama fairly recently pledged the US would spend ATLEAST 3% of it's GDP on science.

It looks like you do...
It looks like the USA spends about as much as the next 6 countries combined.
But the USA also spends 15% GDP on healthcare, which considering it doesn't have a full scale national healthcare system is a lot.
