Despite such assumptions, research using human embryonic stem cells has so far been unsuccessful. All of the breakthroughs using stem cells for medical therapy have so far been found through the use of adult stem cells—cells obtained directly from the individual in need of therapy and used successfully to treat a growing list of serious illnesses.

And yet this news is basically ignored.

I don`t know if this is such a good idea. The hobbits they are creating are horrid.

[Suzy Quzy]

Fools. The great and ONLY medical breakthru-s are in ADULT stem cell research!! Foolish fools, these people probably also buy into global warming hysterics....FOOLS!!

LOTR was not fiction.

We live in a world with real monsters.

Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh are two of them.

"Then the LORD said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" He said, "I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?" And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground."

How much more cries the blood of 40,000,000 innocents?

[Unam Sanctam]

Blasphemy! I love Peter Jackson's and Fran Walsh's work, having seen every minute of the DVD documentaries on my LOTR extended versions, but they should be ashamed of this.

(Sort of) Catholic Ping.

rats.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

It's their money so more power to them for doing so. More people should do that here instead of funding it with tax payer money. Are we now like commie libs who want to control what people do with their own money?

[chipengineer]

At least they are not forcing taxpayers to fund this.

[Calpernia]

Well, now I'm sorry I saw part 1.

[denydenydeny]

“Stem cell therapy has the potential to treat a multitude of diseases and illnesses which up until now have been labelled ‘incurable,’”

They saw him coming.

I only wish I could have gotten to Jackson earlier with my deed to the Brooklyn Bridge.

"And yet this news is basically ignored."

And why would that be? Maybe because it doesn't fit the agenda? Babies are expensive and a nuisance, but they can be useful! Have more of them because you can't be bothered to protect yourself from an unwanted pregnancy, and we'll help you get yourself out of that hole you've dug yourself! (and be able to make megabucks from your aborted baby, too!)

No sarcasm tag because I think it's way too thinly veiled to be needed.

I know this is a deadly serious topic...
But nonetheless I cant think about this debate on Southpark where Christoffer Reeves comes to town and is getting his stem cells by biting the heads of fetuses.

Graphic. Very graphic but it made the point.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, July 17, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Profits from the Lord of the Rings film trilogy are being used to fund destructive human embryonic research at the University of California, reported the Mainichi Daily News... British actor Ian McKellen, who portrayed the wizard Gandalf in the film, has used the international recognition generated by the film to further his promotion of homosexuality, campaigning for homosexual “marriage” in Britain.

Liberal Hollywood at it's weird finest. Movie profits used to kill the unborn. Movie star who must be what, 60 years old, promotes the gay lifestyle. All they need for the trifecta is to get Elija Wood to hold up a "Cindy Sheehan for President" sign on the cover of the Enquirer.

[CharlesWayneCT]

I claim misleading headline. The profits from the movie are not being given to support research. At best, some of the gross from the movie is being paid to people who are then taking some of their money and giving it to the research.

anyway, how do you know it isn't money Jackson is making from the King Kong movie?
