Obama to Fund Research with 100% Failure Rate |
|
st1\:*
Salem, OR - March 9, 2009 - President Obamas decision to lift the ban on using taxpayer dollars for embryonic stem cell research is deadly for human lives and completely unnecessary, said Gayle Atteberry, Executive Director of Oregon Right to Life.
Ten years of research with embryonic stem cells has produced nothing but failure after failure, while research with adult stem cells and reprogrammed cells is finding cures and clinical successes on a regular basis, Ms. Atteberry continued.
President Obamas executive order today reversed President Bushs 2001 executive order banning federal funds for embryonic stem cell research. Bush issued the order because embryonic stem cell research involves the death of human life. Instead, President Bush put millions of dollars into adult stem cell research. Studies with adult stem cells, published this year, show successful trials treating Parkinsons disease, multiple sclerosis, and other diseases. Cures and treatments for over 70 fatal and debilitating diseases have already been found!
Contrary to success with adult stem cells, extensive research with embryonic stem cells, in America and around the world, for over ten years has not produced one human cure. Development of tumors in test animals has negated any progress made in animal trials.
President Obama has decided to direct taxpayer money on experimentation that has proven to be a failure. The President seems to hope that simply throwing money at the problem will fix it. In the meantime, every failed experiment will cost more human lives. Ms. Atteberry continued, All citizens should demand their tax dollars be directed instead to research that continues to unlock cures to many of our most dreaded diseases.
Oregon Right to Life is Oregons largest and oldest organization dedicated solely to the protection of innocent human life from fertilization to natural death. ### |

It was like a scene from The Omen III: The Final Conflict when he announced the funding for stem cell research and demonic cheering broke out among the mesmerized Obammunist followers. They sounded possessed. Or like maniacal girls at a Jonas Brothers concert. It was frightening. Cheering, clapping, and screaming with delight....Howling.

Yet he wants to socialize healthcare and put the hammer on pharma, so there’ll be no funds for R&D and the patient wouldn’t be able to get the cure/treatment through his plan anyway... if ESRC worked.
It’s all about death.
You better believe grandmas and those ‘who don’t contribute in a positive way (their/doctors determination), will get the merciful death Schiavo did... thirteen days worth.

Didn’t Bush turn this eight years ago by announcing that there would be no more embryonic stem cell research? Or is my memory failing me?

Actually Bush only banned further federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, (except with about 30 strains that had already been used.)
Private funding is and has been permitted.

Not so much sarcasm, as an effort to state the opposition’s POV. Really, I think that’s what it comes down to. It can’t be that embryonic stem cell research is all that important; other developments suggest it’s a dead end, uh, so to speak.
But they cannot allow any law that suggests that a human embryo has civil rights, because it might impinge on a woman’s right to commit infanticide. The mere possibility of such an impingement is intolerable to them.
My latest theory is that it all comes out of the so-called scientific thinking of the 19th century (the same thinking that justified racism and slavery) and utilitarianism, a movement which trashed education by suggesting that the goal of education is NOT to make free adults but to make economically contributing adults.
Humans, in this view, are only worth what others think they are worth — the value theory of economics applied to embryos, fetuses, and humans in general.
