Great article. Since it was written, the likelihood of embryonic stem cell breakthroughs has diminished and serious problems have arisen.
The left trotted Fox out because he is well known, just as they did with Christopher Reeve. What the left doesn't want to acknowledge is that there are many people who suffer from different serious conditions who totally oppose ESC research. Here is a link to a thread about Joni Eareckson Tada who has done far more for the disabled than any Hollywood celebrity.

Thanks for the info above.
What is the source of embryonic stem cells? Abortions.
IMHO, embryonic stem cell research is only about insuring that abortion remains legal.
Can anyone explain to me why a stem cell acquired from an aborted infant (with a differing genome) is superior in any way to a stem sell acquired from the person who will be treated with it?
