What has always confused me is...if embryonic stem cells are such an
obvious panacea...where's "big pharma" or all the venture capital that
floods into a "sure thing"?
I remember seeing a small article buried in the business section of
The Los Angeles Times in the spring. It was basically a CYA statement of
the interim director of the newly funded California embryonic stem cell
initiative.
The last act of this academician, as he returned to his university post,
was to basically inform the public that (in so many words)
"this stuff may not actually work".
(All I could read was a "thanks, suckers!" as the real message.)
But hey, maybe in a year or a decade, this will be the miracle cure.
However, some questionable machination were used to get us headed down
a path that might not be the most rewarding (e.g., compared to
endogenous stem cells).
here's a nice reference:

Remember Prop. 71? Stem-cell research supporters hope voters don't remember the promises they made.

[Stem cells are created in the first days after conception and mature into every cell in the human body. Scientist hope to use stem cells as replacement parts for failing organs and to treat diabetes, Parkinson's and other diseases.]
The reason that baby stem cells will never work is because they are unstable in adults and the people who push the abortion industry have latched on this baby stem cell research to continue their unabated murder of children. They are like past time heathen and pagans and their lifestyles are generally liberal and immoral.
I read an article just yesterday on how the Hawaiian singer Don Ho was saved by adult stem cells for his failing heart, he can now walk again , they removed stem cells from his own body and injected them into his heart and he recovered and will be home for the holidays he hopes(he was in Thailand as this operation is not yet allowed in America until the government is done their testing).
Adult stem cells do not have to taken from murdered babies and have a huge success rate; the baby stem cells have no record of cures whatsoever and is but a ploy of those liberal murderer's of children who want to keep the profitable government taxpayer abortion mills open for their own monetary profit and perverted agenda.
I pray the Lord Jesus Christ will destroy this evil practice of aborting America's children for profit; supported by the liberal left neo nazis.
