Question:
Mona and Yuval , interesting that you should flag that story just as I was writing a follow - up to my post about the stem - cell debate that broke out here in Minneapolis last night . The Republican Platform Committee finished work on the platform , but not before amending it to call for a full ban on all embryonic stem - cell research . The stem - cell plank now reads , in full : Taxpayer - funded medical research must be based on sound science , with a focus on both prevention and treatment , and in accordance with the humane ethics of the Hippocratic Oath .

Why was it interesting that the story was flagged ?
Answer:
Because the author was in the middle of creating another post about the subject .
