My mind is open to the possibility that at some point ESCs might yet
be shown to be a great “miracle cure” for many hideous diseases/conditions.
And the ethical/moral questions are an issue that should be discussed
before this might happen.
But, as a pragmatist, I was only mentioning to my acquaintances
that are hot for ESCs that they should take a couple of minutes away
from the lab-bench and notice that “the BIG money” wasn’t going whole-hog
with venture capital for ESCs.
And that ONLY adult stem cells have been found to effect cures/therapies
without causing unwanted “collateral damage” to patients, such as tumors.
But I know that these ESC-pimping friends of mine are now gnashing
their teeth.
After the Stowers spent millions to buy an amendment to protect
cloning in Missouri, these cry-babys are now threatening to pack up
and leave Missouri because a few state legislators dare to still question
the direction of stem-cell research.
We’ve learned to see that money-bag fat-cats that can buy an election
can even be “Sore Winners”.
But I know that these ESC-pimping friends of mine are
now gnashing their teeth.
WTF is an (ESC)? Esterestial Saucer Communicators?
That 300-B, well, outside of the 299-Billion in earmarks,
could've gone A long way.
