For me it has two problems: - Legal - in some places people has the right to take a minimum vacation days per year. If you as a manager don't enforce a minimum, then you're putting a legal risk. - Personal - When I joined the team

Stem cell research has a lot of controversy due to the fact some years ago you could only get stem cells from embryos. For some people (like the Catholic Church) that was a huge ethical issue. Now it is not.
