Each person is God's own idea...

That very simple sentence is so profound that I can't even comment upon it. The link to this article will go out across the web.

From the article:

Myth 3—Embryonic stem-cell research show the most promise

Father Pacholcyzk outlined some 98 different diseases that can be treated using umbilical cord and adult stem cells. Research using adult stem cells is 20 to 30 years ahead of embryonic stem cell research and actually holds greater promise. Currently, there is no scientific evidence where embryonic stem cells have been used successfully in animal trials.

As Sargent Joe Friday would say, just the facts, Ma'am.

I saw a report on CNN this morning about the House bill and 43's promised veto. The word embryonic was NEVER used by CNN. Not once. And the facts that this would only apply to federal funding and that other reseach was not banned was NEVER mentioned, either.

I did a research paper on the pros and cons of stem cell research last fall. I thought it was pretty good at the time, but I'm more sure of it than ever after reading this article and others. My research came to all the same conclusions. There is no good reason for ESC, other than to fund research grants to scientists so they can play God.

If people knew more about this topic, there would be a lot more opposition to ESC.

Especially impressive in view of the fact that they started with embryonic stem cells in 1998 and didn't isolate adult stem cells until 2000.

I know more people in the medical community who REALLY want to believe this one.

Of course they do. Scientists and Doctors are the same as any other group of people. They are susceptible to propaganda, and are more inclined to "follow the crowd" than not.

Try being a medical researcher that is against abortion and cloning. You will be bypassed and quietly forced out.

I think Paul has admitted he will never be President! Pence can and will win!
