A new report released today by the Charlotte Lozier Institute (CLI) analyzes funding for stem cell research in California and Maryland to conclude that funding trends reflect the scientific community’s view that the best hope for disease treatment and therapies lies with morally unproblematic, non-embryonic stem cells.
"For decades, stem cells obtained by destroying unique, living human beings were heralded for their potential ability to cure numerous diseases and conditions. However, while funding for this morally objectionable research initially boomed, efficacious therapies did not,” said Chuck Donovan, president of the Charlotte Lozier Institute.
“Tracking of funding trends both at the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) and in the state of Maryland shows a decisive change in strategy. Money talks – and our new report shows a growing preference to fund ethical stem cell projects nationwide. This reflects the scientific community’s belief that the best hope for rapid medical advances lies with morally unproblematic alternatives.”
They knew perfectly well that adult stem cells were a better bet. The only reason they poured billions into fetal stem cell “research” was political—it gave them another excuse for abortions.
One of those “the ends justify the means” arguments. If we can save that poor guy in the wheelchair, it’s well worth killing a few useless babies.
Taken straight from Hitler and his Nazi doctors.
You mean science is winning over politics? That’s a rarity.
And everyone who was hoodwinked into believing babies had to die for them to heal, issue mass apologies.... no?
20 years and $20 Billion WASTED on ESC research, long after the lack of potential was established.
I think the funding shift has more to do with the fact that adult stem-cell research so far has produced results that the embryonic stem could only promise, than a shift in ethical acceptance of abortion.
