I like his tone, I was able to focus on and multitask with some math hw. It's pretty damn amazing how new biomed is, but how far its come since then.

Interesting video. I would love to have this guy as a professor.[/QUOTE]

The fuss rises from metaphysics relating to sincerely held beliefs (eg. religious, cultural traditions).
It also has to do with the lack of public understanding about the processes behind the science.

The whole: "I don't know, I don't want to know, but what I do know is that I don't want it happening."
