American ones don't!
Iran looks at science as a source of pride . "In the cutting-edge field of human embryonic stem-cell research, the scientists work with a freedom that US researchers can only dream of: broad government approval, including government funding, to work on the potent cells from early-stage embryos that researchers believe hold the promise to cure many diseases.
In 2002, Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, gave his blessing to research on surplus embryos created for fertility treatments -- work sharply restricted in the United States under pressure from religious conservatives -- calling it a ``lofty" effort that fit his goal of making Iran the scientific leader of the Muslim world."

Oh I am sorry, I could n't make my blog readable for you. It is in Tamil. The post which you visited is about the 10 questions asked by Iranian universities Chancellors.
oh! What an honor, Malik!
I'm afraid I don't know how to read Tamil though :) Am curious about those ten question :)
Oh, they are just translation of the questions by them. You can find their questions from Fanonite's page:
