While I understand that there is a moral objection to "embryonic" stem cell research, beyond that, what is the problem?

Well for 1 its proven not to work. It causes tumors and adult stem cells have show far more promise in helping people with MS then Embryonic Stem Cells.

All this is, this the cannibalization of those that have no voice for something that had not proven to be effective!

Wonder how Mike Fox would feel if it was discovered that by sucking out the brains of MS victims and extracting their DNA you could cure cancer?

Yes, this was addressed. Beyond that what is the issue?

Thanks, Mr. Fox does not suffer from MS, so what is your point?

Again, since you are clearly confused about the disease that is attacking Mr. Fox, perhaps you should direct your frustrations toward someone else?

My prayers are with you.

"Well for 1 its proven not to work. It causes tumors and adult stem cells have show far more promise in helping people with MS then Embryonic Stem Cells."

That statement is not totally accurate, in fact it is probably misleading. ESCR is a relative new field when compared to Adult Stem Cell Research. It is still in the developmental/research phase so it hasn't been proven "not to work". We don't know yet if it will work but it offers additional promise because of the differentiating and proliferating properties of ESC vs ASC.

HEY! Won't be the brains (what little I have left) of this MS victim! ;-)
