Can't stop parents - especially educated ones - from banking their own newborns umbilical cord blood. We're doing this now. By the time that generation reaches adolescence, a collectively vocal fraction will have developed diseases only this (stem cell) blood can cure, even by today's technology. Who can deny them life, by their own blood? Further stem cell research could easily persuade general acceptance in this way. Who can deny willing donors?

My understanding is that only women and children under 15 have been allowed to flee (pass the checkpoints). Males "of military age" will be shot if they try to leave. All the men of the city are foreigners? Or are all the men of the city willing combatants?

Indeed.

Pave the way for elections by killing all the voting age males of Falluja.
