First feature block of this mornings GMA ran story that an embryonic stem cell treatment for spinal cord injury had done well enough in animal trials for it to possibly move on to human testing.
The scientific and medical guests were careful and professional in their analysis of the situation. They warned there were many difficult steps ahead in development, many risks, many possible adverse side effects, etc.
But those reasonable medical cautions weren't about to dampen the gushing Miss Sawyer. She put up animated video of Christopher Reeves walking again (Psst, Diane; He's dead) and groups of others throwing away their canes and wheelchairs to rise and walk, first with halting steps, then with renewed confidence, into the sunlight to a new dawn of humanity in Gods grace and in designer outfits by Adolpho.
(If you're having trouble visualizing what was on GMA, just let yourself remember the Crip Crawl (that's what they call it) on the last Benny Hinn Crusade you saw on TV. Same deal.)
Finally, the Pièce de Résistance. Diana gushed about 8.7 on the open-ended Richter scale and pronounced: "Oh, Oh, Barack Obama has been president for only three days and already we are seeing medical miracles. The lame will walk again...."
It was disgusting. It was as bad as the morning when CBS Early Show hostess and former Miss Phyllis George asked a repentant rapist and his former victim if they wanted to hug and make up... on the air... as we used to say live to all time zones.
And this is what 60% of America depends on for news. (The other 40% watch Oprah)
Sawyer is the one who met with Louisiana Killer and Governor Kathleen Blanco and handed her kleenex as she blamed George Bush for not arresting her and ordering the Evacuation when she refused to do her job.
Diane Sawyer is many things. She is not a reporter.
Adult stem cells were used on this woman. FR thread from two days ago ==> Woman Gets New Windpipe Using Her Own Stem Cells (WOW!)
Although there are still problems.
More here.
Prayers for the people in embryonic cell trials. I hope they survive.
LOLOL!
I think she is still hungover and yes, I would hit. gotta learn how to post that pic with bill and the caption “I’s hit it”
$100 million dollars and 16 years of experiments with embryonic stem cells, and this company has not had even one single success.

Great story; not one I’d heard before.
Ideas are more powerful than guns. If we don't let our people have guns, why should we let them have ideas?

MindBender26: Are you serious? Did this really happen? This isn't satire, is it?
That's true. Thanks for that reminder, Islander7!
Great post, Cacique. Frightening comparison...
