Cambridge Infill and Small Developments

Are Mormons comfortable with stem cell research, cloning, and the like? I wonder if this church is some kind of forward listening post/symbolic "island of righteousness" in the Kendall Square biotech zone. I mean, every Mormon in Massachusetts could probably fit into the massive Belmont temple.
 
Apparently the Mormon church is growing here. I know a few Mormons and they were talking about how there used to be one district or chapter or whatever they call it on the south shore when they started and now there's 3 or 4. Personally, I think they're a strange breed and I have to agree that this placement is very...odd.
 
I noticed that a parking lot near Genzyme center is now under construction. Its a parking lot over from the new bio tech office/lab and also that new 303 3rd st. Apartment complex. Any one know anythinig?

Re: the last photo...can we call it the Wall of Shame?
 
It's so funny to see the West End. Boston seems to have 2 skylines, the "Boston" skyline of the Back Bay and Financial District, and the "Everywhere else" skyline of the West End.
 
Wall of shame? Indeed! I can't believe they mean to leave it like that.

A few more taller towers(No.sta,Gov. garage?)and it would be it's own skyline.
