The Neuroscience Lobby seeks 100,000,000 Guinea Pigs ? So the Findings of the Congress are that 100,000,000 Americans have shrinking brains does make a lot of Sense to you ? My personal findings are that Congressmen who vote for this do have indeed shrinking brains, as they will indeed at some point not be excluded from the List of Guinea Pigs. Do not vote for this Bill. Be a Patriot and think about the future of your children.... 37709@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_5989.html?rev=23530 <p>H.R. 5989 would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement a National Neurotechnology Initiative.</p> <h2 id="toc8"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc9"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to update the status of the bill!)</p> <!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc10"> Points in Favor </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to show why the bill should pass!)<br /> <!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --> </p> <h2 id="toc11"> Points Against </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to show why the bill should not pass!)<br /> <!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --> </p> 23530@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 08 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_5989.html?rev=23531 <p>H.R. 5989 would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to implement a National Neurotechnology Initiative.</p> <h2 id="toc12"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc13"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 5/7/2008: Referred to House committee.
