Stem cell research, including that employing cells derived from nascent forms of human life, has been proceeding without government interference, funded by private entities.
I suppose its too much to expect, that any press minion would undertake to correct this deeply ingrained misrepresentation of truth.
This woman is just eager to kill babies as many ways as possible, and as soon as possible.
They all seem to forget that the Nazi descent into euthanasia of “useless eaters” and the death camps began with medical experimentation on human subjects.
Indeed, and it will almost certainly progress more efficiently if it continues to be exclusively privately funded.
I’m all in favor of embryonic stem cell research, but opposed to government funding for it (just as I’m opposed to government funding for any sort of research that isn’t a clear national security priority). But, honestly, what on earth is going on in the heads of people who are pushing for federal funding for this NOW? Do they not read the headlines? Have they not heard that the federal government is urgently trying to scrounge up hundreds of billions of dollars to bail out the financial system and re-start the economy? Do they seriously imagine that the ban on federal funding for this research is the only thing standing in the way of bundles of cash pouring into their pet research projects?
What do you expect from liberals? They ignore or lie about any facts that don’t fit their storyline, if they are even aware of them. Liberals and truth just don’t mix.
Myth 4. Embryonic stem cell research is against the law. In reality, there is no law or regulation against destroying human embryos for research purposes. While President Bush has banned the use of federal funding to support research on embryonic stem cell lines created after August 2001, it is not illegal. Anyone using private funds is free to pursue it.

“President Bush DID NOT ban stem cell research.”
I had this ‘discussion’ with a co worker when he insisted that it was great that Odumbo was lifting the stem cell ban.
I said , no the only thing that Odumbo was lifting was a ban on the feds non funding of FETAL stem cell research. That ADULT stem cell research has been going on all the time. Even then private funding could be used for studies using fetal cells. He kept insisting that NO stem cell research had been done since Bush banned fetal research. sigh.
I do think I may have gotten some of the facts inserted into his cranium when I told him that even in that time I knew that Adult stem cells were being used for many BMT patients in the clinic we work for who have had their own stem cells used in their transplants. (I had talked to a family in hospital who’s family member was going to have such a transplant done) Since I moved internally a few times since I met that family I have no idea if this person is still a survivor, but at that time I thought it was a great concept, using the bodies own cells to fix the errors.
I being me, also had to inform him that so far there hasn’t been a research project using fetal cells that has not resulted in tumors developing, instead of the hoped for remission/cure of the problem, but there have been successes in using adult cells.
I think in the end this has to be a project of informing people one at a time on exactly what Bush banned and exactly where the successes are occurring.
