Life Insight: 1181 to Zero (ADULT vs EMBRYONIC Stem Cell Clinical Trials)
USSCCB Secreatriat for Pro=Life Activities ^ | June-July 2006 | Staff

...Politicians who support research involving the destruction of living human embryos...mischaracterized the bills, misrepresented polling data, launched ad hominem attacks on Presidnet Bush and people of faith, and displayed an astonishing ignorance of the science of stem cells and even basic biology.

[snip]

How's this for a score: 1181 FDA-approved clinical trials using adult stem cells, to zero human trials using embryonic stem cells? ...Embryonic stem cells have not been shown safe enough for trials wih human subjects, mainly because of their propensity to form tumors and grow uncontrollably...

Of all the articles I've seen posted about human embryonic stem cell research, this is the one which has most concise, clearly explained, and thorough debunking of the ESC hype. It's (aside from the grim impliations) a fun read.

But what will we do with our 'culture of death'?

We must perpetuate it by all means necessary, esp by lying.

Link to another thread that supports the "Thanks, Suckers!" aspect
of the $3-$6 BILLION dollars the California taxpayers were duped out of
for embryonic stem cell research.

Embryonic stem cells may someday provide miracle cures...but why
wait when adult stem cells seem to be cruising ahead at full stea?
Yeah, I know it's because of an agenda and the desire for money and power.
