A very good point you make Curtis.
But dont think this "rethink news" means an automatic turnaround.
Remember originally this moratorium was only going to be for whole organ Xeno, and was then tightened up after much activity from the animal rights lobby. I myself am an avid animal lover, and I respect the protesters have a right to their opinions, but not to the extent of denying childhood diabetes sufferes the only hope of a cure.

and check out this link to the UK group "uncaged" who credit themselves with influencing the moratorium decision.
