There were two terrible flaws with official Japanese attitudes to stem-cell research, he said. To illustrate the first, he pulled out a 500-page wodge of paper. This, he said, is what I have to fill out in triplicate every time the laboratory wants to use a single human embryonic stem cell for a single experiment. Then it takes a month to write and another month for the government to process, by which time a rival lab in the UK might have done the experiment a dozen times. "If this lab wanted to be competitive," he said, "I would have to get rid of one scientist and put two full-time paperwork administrators in their place."
