Congress will produce a bill aimed at this source, soon I think.

If Senator Frist's plan to provide federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research that uses discarded embryos from artificial insemination, then no scientist would waste a second trying to develop pluripotent stem cells from placentas. Thus, Frist would ensure that embryos will be unnecessarily destroyed in the name of science. All true pro-lifers should oppose Frist's plan and support President Bush's position on embryonic stem-cell research.
I'd like to see more federal funding for placental stem cell research and research on converting adult stem cells into plurimpotent stem cells. While I prefer a limited federal government, it seems to me that there is a role for helping bring about cures to diseases that affect millions of Americans, especially if that federal role would help prevent the detruction of human life.

Very encouraging.
However, I predict that this will NOT reduce the call for embryonic stem cells. Why? Because the call for embryonic stem cells is simply an excuse for abortion.

Misses the point. The push for "embryonic stem cells" is not aimed at curing disease, improving life, etc..... the sought-after goal by its proponents is to "put a good face" on the practice of killing unborn human beings. If "some good can come of it," then "choice" remains secure and (in their eyes) justified.
This is why they continue to IGNORE the successes of adult stem cells, and to IGNORE the gross malformations and failures resulting from embryonic ones.
Whether the choice is (A) destroying unborn human beings for convenience or (B) gruesome harvesting of their body parts, make no mistake -- this is about continuing the culture of death.

Strom says his cells are different are different from the ones the Wake Forest team found, and they may not be true stem cells because they did not form tumors in his experiments, as a true stem cell would. And the lack of tumors is a bad thing???

Interesting ... but it looks like just a "hope" again. The title is misleading.
