I wish someone in authority would come out and actually say this. Maybe it would put this fetal stem cell issue to bed once and for all.
If it were true, somebody would have. Fact is, until a great deal of research is done on both embryonic and adult stem cells, no one will know which has "more promise" or whether one type is better for some things and the other is better for other things.
It doesn't matter if they do. There have been lots of articles on this, and the major media outlets don't cover it. Give some credit to Fox, though, because they had someone on that discussed the letter who said that someone has turned Nancy's head and made her think that ESCR is the answer, but "it isn't."
I'm tired of this discussion of the possibilities of ESCR when it's been shown that adult stem cells are actually producing good results! And, no, Ronald Reagan would not approve of it. If it was my own child, I couldn't approve, either. Why should I demand the death of someone else to save my life, or my children's? If the stem cells came from infants, would that make a difference to them? I'm not sure. This is just depressing sometimes.
