Hope no one opposes this...

No one does.
Embryonic stem cell experimentation is ethically problematic, to say the very least.
Adult and/or umbilical cord stem cell research has no associated ethical problems, and have, in fact, been widely used in productive research.
Embryonic stem cells are not needed, nor are they deemed superior cells, for research purposes.
Why do the non-scientific political parties fight over the topic?

Hope no one opposes this...I think that's a vain hope. The Leftist agenda requires research on fetal stem cells. Never mind that most successful stem cell research has been done with cord blood or adult stem cells (from fat or bone marrow).

It is a ridiculous thought to think that nobody will oppose this option. Stem cell research will always be an issue, especially when politicians are opposing issues they are lacking information on. Much research can and is being done using other options besides aborted babies, yet this seemed to be one of Bush's concerns. It seems hard to believe that stem cell research will ever be accepted by all.

California's billion dollar statewide initiative REQUIRED that only the stem cells associated with abortions (embryonic) be used in research. In other words if other types of stem cells (adult, umbillical cord, amniotic) are just as good or even much better for research, it doesn't matter, they have to use the abortion derived cells because that's what the measure required.
Totally insane.

Sounds like a "political" decision. (as in zampolits, Lysenko, etc)

" The Leftist agenda requires research on fetal stem cells."
- You can bet that activists like Michael J. Fox will pay no attention to this news. They're too used to regularly plunking their butts down before various Congressional Committees to whine about Bush and how his stem cell policy has denied hope to millions.

It seems hard to believe that stem cell research will ever be accepted by all. I don't know what you mean by this. Almost everyone I know is perfectly happy with stem cell research using cord blood or adult stem cells (and maybe now amniotic fluid).
Fetal stem cell research is a different thing.
To: finnigan2
You can bet that activists like Michael J. Fox will pay no attention to this news.Yes. Activists are never known for their expertise, just for their passion. I forget what the exact numbers are now, but there are something like 70 conditions that adult stem cell treatments can cure, and 0 (that's zero) for fetal stem cell treatments.
And we continue to spend more money for fetal stem cell research than we do for adult stem cell research.
Passion beats common sense every day.

Did anyone catch this falsehood: "The cells are already there in the mother's amniotic fluid." Folks, the amniotic fluid has the new life's stem cells in it. Trying to assert the fluid is 'the mother's amniotic fluid' is either the writing of a very uninformed person or an effort to lie without getting called on it! The placenta and amniotic sac are constructs by the newly conceived (in this case, a higher mammal, not human).

Votes and money. There is a lot of money to be made in selling aborted fetuses. Stem cells was just an enlargement of that killing plan.
