Expectant Mother Care ( www.expectantmothercare.org ) is an abortion alternative clinic whose calling is to serve the distraught and disadvantaged through life-affirming education, counseling, on-site contracted medical care, and referrals. It was established more than 20 years ago and has survived attacks by Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, as well as recently winning a cease-and-desist lawsuit against a major abortion provider that advertised itself as an abortion alternative clinic. Good Counsel Homes ( www.goodcounselhomes.org ) has saved thousands of babies from the scalpel and burning saline solutions. It operates homes for a mother to live throughout her pregnancy and for a year with her baby after delivery. It also provides parenting, health care, and career guidance taught by a caring staff and volunteers.

There is also the privately funded maternity and adoption program at the Archdiocese of New York, which provides all the material necessities for a healthy pregnancy and an excellent Cribs for Life program to outfit the newborn completely. No Web site is yet available, but one can call 212-371-1000 and ask for the maternity services office. Umbilical cord blood holds enormous promise for cures. Why isn't Congress working on funding research that works, instead of promoting junk science? But even if embryonic stem cells did provide a cure for my diabetes, the price of an innocent life is too much for me to pay.

"To my knowledge, no known cures have been attributed to embryonic stem cell research."

Well... As you probably know... CA has been bamboozled through Prop 71 into borrowing still yet another extra $3 Billion (That's like 3,000 Millions) for this entire WAG (Wild Asped Guess) that is really a hoped for "magic bullet" that is wanted to serve as justification for more of Planned Parenthood's favorite anti Chistian/Western World, pro Muslim/Eastern World abortion degradation of the west!!!

Yes, of course we have a Hollywood showman "Republican" Governor that gave the bamboozling a "fantastic" lift with his vociferous endorsement. I'll never understand why these "population control" programs are not pushed harder on the Muslim and other third world countries that are rushing to dilute our shrinking culture... Especially here in CA!!!

The shift in the population numbers is becoming astounding!!! The effect on custom, culture and national sovereignty are becoming downright scary!!!

I believe that the study of adult stem cells and the mechanisms involved in the replacing of dead cells are the key for many cures. In this study, the role of adult stem cells in the formation of cancerous cells may be where the cure for cancer will come.

The study of embryonic stem cells may be only be understood through information from adult stem cell research. Let's be honest about the objective of embryonic stem cell research. In its effort to achieve pluripotentiality it may only serve those who desire to create cloned human beings, human/animal hybrids, eugenics, DNA-recombinant human gene somatic and germ line therapy, and biological/chemical warfare screening research. The quest for the regeneration of human tissue will only come from the adult stem cell.

So, "stem cell science" is hopeless because there are some diseases that respond to treatments other than stem cell therapy? Is that the jist of the author's argument?
