Why is it "preaching"? Nathan is right, people do need to confront the
US duopoly and if it takes strategic actions, so be it. Many are doing
it against enormous odds. At the same time Nathan and Justin should
hopefully realize that this is about more than legalities or even
liberties. In a very serious way it is about science fighting for "the
right" to ask deep and potentially disturbing questions about the
human body.
