Alzheimer’s research is an area that has become particularly politicized, because of the nexus with the Abortion debate.
People who advocate abortion are too eager to trumpet any benefit derived from embryonic stem cell research, in order to provide a utilitarian argument for abortion. Similarly, people who oppose abortion deny any benefits to embryonic stem cell research, instead of attacking the core argument that some humans should be sacrificed in medical experimentation for the greater public good.
Because of this “proxy war” over abortion, Billions of dollars have been thrown away and every aspect of embryonic stem cell research has been tainted by politics. It is impossible to conclude that any research in this area is free from taint.
True, but there have also been a number of reports in the last few years about potentially useful nutritional and drug treatments for Alzheimer's, unrelated to ESCR. I'd like those to be accurate!
Have you ever read the study of the taint in a medical journal?
