I have been asked to respond on behalf of the Empire.
Our nation permits stem cell research on the conditions that the institute can prove the stem cells come from "morally acceptable" sources. Currently that means those taken from any of the following types.
* Embryonic Germ Cells (from miscarriages or spontaneous abortions and not elective abortions)
* Umbilical Cord Stem Cells
* Placenta-derived Stem Cells
* Post-Natally Derived (Adult) Stem cells.
Should you confine your research to such types of cells then you would be permitted to operate within the Empire so long as your work force comply to local laws regarding taxation and employment. This would mean that any staff incoming would be required to hold a visa for the Empire but I am confident that these will easily be issued. In addition we have a great number of academic institutes in the city of Abertone who will have a plethora of graduates who would do great work for Gattaca.
We hope this is a positive start and should you require any support or advice in the establishment of your research please do not hesitate to contact me.
