Worst piece of writing I've read in a while

Okay, so I read some pretty sketchy stuff at times, but this is truely awful. Parts read like she's aspiring to be a third-rate fantasy writer.

Read it here.

I laughed particularly loud at the opening sentance and at this: "By definition, human embryonic stem cells have the almost mythical, immortal power to grow and divide indefinitely as they become the various tissues that make up the body."

I mean do we really need the hyperbole to let us know how amazing stem cells are? And I doubt very much that they are imortal, and given that they exist they are nowhere near mythical.

Sorry for the rant. Frustrated writer's syndrome.

Cheers

Mike
