A Christmas Story (Gone Wrong?)

Google is pretty much a multi-cultural company, and I was quite surprised when I came across this on their media site (article written by Gavin Tachibana).

(Letter from the Editor) I don't mean that it's one of my favorite stories, or that it should be anyone else's favorite. But it is one of the best because it has managed to captivate the world for thousands of years. If you believe in Jesus Christ it's the foundation of your belief. Even if you don't, the birth of Jesus is one story that you can evaluate your own personal growth in relation to your response to this timeless tale.

Shocking I tell you. ;)

Gavin later talks on about the hopes and failures of stem cell research, particularly noting Hwang Woo Suk, who before being discovered as a fraud led the world to believe that there was a break through regarding stem cells. He then makes a surprising statement about Hwang Woo Suk.

But perhaps the frame around this debate can be nudged ever so slightly, for this was a researcher not trying to play God. He was trying to be Jesus.

I'll leave you to your own conclusions.
