there are existing treatments using adult stem cells. People insist on using embryonic ones for experiments as a backdoor way of legitimizing abortion via science. Then you get stuff like this. Also look at how the media deliberately mixes stem cells with embryonic stem cells to seed confusion. It works well without the political and ethical dilemma why not try adult stem cells or cord blood?

The progress of science is paved with stories of high hopes and heartbreaks.

I well remember how many times the MSM made this exact point when describing the progress of the Strategic Defense Initiative.

Members of the MSM should be injected with embryonic stemcells. Get this over once and for all ~ in 6 months or less too.

No good can come from the vampirish practice of embryonic stem cell harvesting.

It's good to be sober rather than drunk with false hopes, based on death.

"To do this, they harvested glial, or brain-support cells, from the precise brain region of an aborted fetus that would, at 11 to 22 weeks gestation, trigger the development of the dopamine neurons needed."

...and some people see the world through fevered delusions.

Hmm. I think I read somewhere recently that the idiots in Hollywood are drinking some trendy health compound made from fetal stem cells, in an effort to improve their health. I'm not absolutely sure of that, but I think it's what I saw.

If so, it looks as if they will reap what they have sown.

Quick, let Michael J Fox use this to cure his parkinson so that by the end of the year we can show that his whoring about embryonic stem cells have been a horrible, horrible mistake. You know those liberals love, love, love to admit their mistakes because they keep demanding that W 'admit' his mistakes all the time.

of legitimizing abortion via science.


And to assure a steady flow of tax-payer dollars for research funds to
use embryonic stem cells to cure diseases....
some of which are already treated successfully with adult stem cells.

there are existing treatments using adult stem cells

Name them. What are they used to treat? Will insurance companies pay for the treatment?

And do you think this will ever make it on the evening news? I have my doubts.
