Sidestepping this fact, ESCR proponents assert that it is the novelty of the approach that accounts for ESCR’s zero record of successfully treated patients. At 73-0, adult stem cell therapy is the hands-down winner, and yet, ESCR is still the “gold standard” of stem cell science for liberals. Unlike ESCR, iPS cells do not present ethical challenges by using eggs or embryos. And iPS cells have already been credited with the ability to produce real results.

And yet the mainstream media and the left all but pretends that the ONLY stem cells worth researching come from murdered babies.

As a mother of a diabetic child, I don’t care where a cure comes from — adult or embryonic or induced pluripotent stem cells — as long as a cure is developed.” — Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colorado).

What if we discover the most viable and useful stem cells come from babies that were already born but not wanted? What if the best cells come from babies partially delivered live but then "harvested" for these cells? Would she care then? Probably not.

Moral equivalency will be the end of us. There IS such a thing as right and wrong!

The left desperately needs some moral justification for abortion. The millions of women who have either had abortions themselves or have friends who have done so seem to think that the only way they or their friends can be vindicated is if abortion somehow becomes moral. The people who would preach against abortion need to spread the message that people who have had abortions can justify themselves morally if they repent and help encourage others to do so. IMHO, if that message could reach critical mass, there could be a sea change on both the abortion issue and the political stage (I don't think the newly-repentant would be happy with the Party of Manipulated Guilt).

Yes, it seems adults stems cells can provide cures for some disease.

That is not what these ‘liberals’ want. They figure there are many ways to cure certain diseases, and many ways to avoid disease.

What they want the ESCR for is the ‘fountain of youth’.

They ‘believe’ that somehow a way will be found to stay alive forever, so they can maintain their power in the physical world, and their wealth, and avoid the thought of dying and having to meet their ‘creator’ and be judged.
