When the stem cell controversy hit the Bush camp in 2000, I researched it then and found in no equivocal terms, that cord blood and adult stem cells were showing promise, but embryo stems actually caused trouble, like tumors. The liberals were pushing their imaginations to find ways of using ground up fetus' parts to keep the money flowing. They claimed the baby cells could fix everything even though their was proof to the contrary. They want ALL the money and research to go to the embryo research as a matter of belief rather than science. Great strides have already been made for cord blood and adult stem cells, but NOOOONNNNE for embryo stems!

Just try to picture the pro life movement if they are able to fix anything, even a hangnail with a dead baby. They will whine and cry about the Neanderthal's holding back progress in science because of their backwards religious superstitions. Stem cell research is fine for adult stems and cord blood stems.

Embyro research is political. It is political! Period!

I think some of the ESCR enthusiasts are anxious to add

"helps quadriplegics"

to their list of

Ten reasons why
killing embryos is a good thing.

I think this is valuable information. Wonder if the leaders in the pro-life movement are making legislators and the general public aware of this?
