Yes, why quit smoking when you can just inject embryo parts and keep on puffing.

I cant seem to keep up with the Stem Cell dispute.

The other day they claimed they make the blind see , but it caused cancer, todaythey are using them to cure smokers cancer. So many claims , so many problems. hard to root out the truth.

If embryonic stem cells ever are found to make a person more conservative it's over.

The researchers have already discovered one such protein — found mainly in embryos, placentas and tumours

Helloooooo! Every baby comes with a PLACENTA that is thrown away (sorry, Tom Cruise)! Each placenta must have a lot more stem cells than the 5-celled embryo. Why choose to kill a baby instead of making use of placental cells?

"... shields mice against developing lung cancer under conditions thought to mimic the effects of smoking"

Hmmmm?? Maybe it wasn't the stem cells .. maybe the effects of smoking they used are all a lie ..?? What if you can't get lung cancer from 2nd hand smoke ..?? How will they be able to tell ..??

It's not quite about embryonic stem cells curing cancer ~ instead it's about how to develop a vaccine to stop you from being infected with embryonic stem cells.

Let's think through the logic here ~ you use such a vaccine early so that it can also stop some forms of cancer from occuring. Then, later on somebody comes along with another idea to force you to have embryonic stem cells injected into your brain. This will stop that idea cold.

The stem-cell injection protected 20 out of 25 mice from becoming republicans, whereas republicanism grew in all unvaccinated mice.

There is something bogus about this article. That or my understanding of stem cell research is flawed. This gives the impression that "emryonic" stem cells have already been used to cure lots of this, and now will prevent cancer.

Everything I have heard is that embryonic has produced absolutely NOTHING. It is ADULT stem cell research that is achieving results.

So which is it?

[Embryonic stem cells, the controversial and versatile cells that seem able to do just about anything...]

Starting an article with a lie is not a good sign and raises a red flag from the get go. Embryonic stem cells have not cured or relieved one disease as yet despite all the backing by the liberal media and tax grabbing politicians and bueracrats.
Adult stem cells have been a great success and are continuing to provide new remidies with time and experimental medicines, they are the future. Yet the left wing simply wants the abortion mills to kill off our fellow human beings and stem cell research would greatly aid their political and monetary interests of tax paying grants to themselves. Again, embryonic stem cells have not produced any cures as they mutate too fast and can not be controlled, it is simply a scam the pro abortion movement uses to delude despate people. Adult stem cells do work and have produced positive cures, yet all you ever hear about is embryonic stem cells from the media which supports the socialist hopes of the left.

Somebody help me to understand this madness.

Adult stem cells have made great strides yet the scientists are not out there strumming up more funds to continue research on them. Yet embryonic stem cells have not been successful in humans but it's constantly talked about as though it really saves lives.

This information could be very useful to the research folks at Philip Morris when they are devising a new system of cigarette filtration.

Injecting a few of these stem cells into the next generation of the Micronite filter could do wonders I guess.

I thought Bush had banned embryonic stem cell research (/sarcasm)

Embryonic stem cells, the controversial and versatile cells that seem able claimed to do just about anything, have now expanded their repertoire into cancer prevention.

There, fixed their immediately obvious bias.

Well that's some jimdandy scientific reporting right there. So if I put stem cells next to a Pizza Hut will I get another Pizza Hut? They can do anything right?

Their repertoire so far being:

1) Heavily rejected by the host.

2) Causing cancer.

3) No actual working treatments for humans.

Compared to adult stem cells which have them beat on the last point 70 to nothing.

The opening sentence is so misleading as to be a lie.

These types of stem cells have never cured anything. This is propaganda.
