but I'm sure there will be hellfire and brimstone with such proposals. Perhaps they can take a more scientific, psychologically based path for their study plans, maybe they are less driven by religious dogma about such matters than we are here in the States.

Good luck to them, really. Any time anybody, anywhere in the world proposes a real scientific and rational approach to problems I find to be a good thing.
