"meanwhile weapons research will always continue by the feds uabated while this kind of tripe stalls medical research"
Would it be crass to ask which group of scientists are "continuing.........weapons research" instead of doing "medical research?"

Dang those godless scientists......always willing to sell out humanity for weapons research. If any of them had a personal relationship with a higher power then they probably would make more humane choices.

But that is probably not the point you were trying to make...right????
"appears to be a blanket objection to all scientific research"
Does not read that way to me.....sorry.
