Let's rewrite one for The Gipper! (Ann Coulter)

EMBRYONIC stem stells are not a panacia. There is that parkenson's study which was cut short because the stem cells made the condition WORSE. You don't hear much about that one.

I think it matters to say only EMBRYONIC stem cells. This does not adress stem cells from umbilical cords or bone marrow or stomachs. THAT research is continuing. We should give MORE PR to those federally funded stem cell research which has been UNINTERUPTED.

My father had parkensons. He died in 1992. I know without a doubt that had someone said, hey, we can inject fetal tissue into your spinal column and cure you, he would have told them to shove off.

It sounds like he was quite a man. Hopefully adult stem cells will help find a cure for that and other fatal or debilitating ailments.

How well informed you are fellow Freeper.

The scientific community knows this is not true, yet it participates in the sham. "The Weekly Standard" called this deliberate distortion "a scandal," and Dr. D.G. McKay, stem-cell researcher at the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Stroke, termed it a "fairy tale."

Bump for Ann Coulter!

[MamaLucci]

Most confusing to Democrats, at the time Reagan was doing all of this Bible-reading and consorting with preachers, he hadn't even been accused of cheating on his wife. What kind of angle was he playing? liberals asked themselves.

NO ONE skewers the left like Ann........priceless.:)

[MamaLucci]

You REALLY need to read the link on post #43.

I think Nancy Reagan is right about Stem Cells. If she brings this issue up heavily, this could be bad for Bush. Kerry might even use this issue and say how he's for Stem Cell use. I think Nancy might wait to after the election to talk about Stem Cells

Nancy, God bless her, is not right on this issue.
She won't bring this up before Nov 2.
Let Kerry bring it up, and let him also bring up his pro-infanticide views. I would very much welcome that.

So why not clone the persons OWN stem cells? It seems the need for stem cells is not an emergency room factor.

[TN4Liberty]

Thank you for your suggestion. I would not have seen this article without the title change.

I am thinking of a certain someone with an ovresized Bible, and a pious look upon thier face...

Similarities and differences between embryonic and adult stem cells

Human embryonic and adult stem cells each have advantages and disadvantages regarding potential use for cell-based regenerative therapies. Of course, adult and embryonic stem cells differ in the number and type of differentiated cells types they can become. Embryonic stem cells can become all cell types of the body because they are pluripotent. Adult stem cells are generally limited to differentiating into different cell types of their tissue of origin. However, some evidence suggests that adult stem cell plasticity may exist, increasing the number of cell types a given adult stem cell can become.

Large numbers of embryonic stem cells can be relatively easily grown in culture, while adult stem cells are rare in mature tissues and methods for expanding their numbers in cell culture have not yet been worked out. This is an important distinction, as large numbers of cells are needed for stem cell replacement therapies.

A potential advantage of using stem cells from an adult is that the patient's own cells could be expanded in culture and then reintroduced into the patient. The use of the patient's own adult stem cells would mean that the cells would not be rejected by the immune system. This represents a significant advantage as immune rejection is a difficult problem that can only be circumvented with immunosuppressive drugs.

Embryonic stem cells from a donor introduced into a patient could cause transplant rejection. However, whether the recipient would reject donor embryonic stem cells has not been determined in human experiments.

The unique potential contribution of human embryonic stem cells to therapies is a product of both their longevity and their capacity to produce a wide range of specialised cells in the laboratory. By contrast, adult stem cells that are grown in the laboratory appear to have much shorter lifespans than embryonic stem cells. This reduces their capacity to form new cell types. Stem cells can also be obtained from aborted fetuses and umbilical cord blood, but it is not clear whether the full range of cell types that are required for treatments could eventually be generated from these sources alone.

Stem cell research around the world
Nine of the 15 European Union nations have banned stem cell research on embryos.

You know, it looks like Ann is doing her She-Ra impersonation.

[Dr Snide]

One of the best lines from "This Just In"

"If Ann Coulters a man, I don't want to be straight"

[jackbill]

How well informed you are fellow Freeper.

Thanks, but isn't it disheartening to see how many of the Sheeple eat this stuff up? Dan Rather has orgasms over it.

[krb]

She'd probably support harvesting full-grown, living humans if it would bring back Ronnie.

Hell, I'd support that too, if I got to pick which humans we harvested ;-)

[Rummyfan]

The world's living testament to the limits of genetics, Ron Jr.,

Way to go Ann!

[Wycowboy]

Thanks for the pics. Thankfully, someone followed the rules. Amazing how some pople have no respect for bylaws, or tradition. We can only hope your good example will promote positive changes in posting behaviors.

Perhaps tissue from terminated pre-babies is the cure-all for everything and perhaps tissue from terminated pre-babies doesn't cure a damn thing but makes those who terminate pre-babies feel justified in their acts by grasping onto some miracle medical fantasy.

[bray]

Wow, this Broad hits more Home Runs than Barry Bonds & Sammy Sosa combined!!! Ann Rox!!

Pray for W and The Greatest President Ever, Ronald Wilson Reagan

Well she does have an Adam's Apple. lol
