The number of references to "test tube" that you will find in the Bible (zero) is equal to the number of promising leads that have been developed from embryonic stem cell research thus far. On the other hand, adult and umbilical cord blood stem cell research has shown positive results for development of treatments for over 70 diseases. But you think God would want us to spend tax dollars on embryonic stem cell research? That sounds more like the foolish steward who buried his one talent to me.
Right. If money is going to be spent on something, do it on something that will actually work. The research on on adult stem cells and those obtained from the umbilical cord show much promise and have had many successful applications. Expanding the research on a method that actually works would make much more sense than research on creating an industry in which human life is created to be destroyed.
The media and the far-left have spun this to just saying "stem cells" in the embryonic stem cell debate and many people are completely unaware that stem cells can be obtained from adults and umbilical cord blood and that research on those stem cells is far more promising than that of embryonic. The motivation behind this bill was to create another cash cow for the abortion industry and its allies, not about helping people. The same way many of these abortion advocates are not about "women's rights", but about making cash off of killing babies.
