Oprah’s website buries Dr. Oz's ‘stem cell debate is dead’ statement

This article is a bombshell and should be sent to everyone you know who argues the need for ESCR. Anyone foolish enough to believe the hype that only stem cells from embryos are a viable medical answer, has little faith in the medical and scientific community. ESCR supporters are acting on emotion because they want us to feel guilty if we don't appear as though we feel sorry for people who are suffering. They don't give us the real facts, and just want us to swallow their emotion-packed arguments without question.

Just like the same people who push abortions always argue that abortion helps the poor women who have been raped (which is only 1% of all abortions performed). Their tactic is to play on people's sympathy or fears.

With this information we can debunk their pitiful arguments. It needs to be known!

SHAME on Oprah and MJF for promoting ESCR KNOWING it’s auseless waste of time and $$$$$$$$!!

All true but late term abortion harvests the great amount of embryonic stem cells and that's what this is all about.

Better to believe that there is no absolute truth, and that two contradictory things can be true at the same time. Actually had a lefty say that to me, because she knew I’d be able to logically disassemble her entire belief system otherwise.

I've had that "argument" stated to me, too. When it happens, just point out that arguments don't exist in hyperspace - they are put forward by people. Therefore, when a lefty says "objectively" "there is no absolute truth, and that two contradictory things can be true at the same time" observe that that is their, personal, subjective opinion, and that it is not objective because there are other opinions about the same subject. Then tell them that you would like to hear their justification and defense of their personal, subjective opinions that they are labelling "objective."

Then step back. Because it will NOT bother them that they can't to defend their positions, or that they are being hypocritical. But the idea that their declaration of objectivity is a subjective opinion stops their minds cold. So to protect themselves, they will go into a rage at your "accusation" that they have a personal, subjective opinion AT ALL. For that is the one thing that truly, deeply frightens a liberal - falling out of groupthink, or not being perceived as loyal to it. That is their core terror, and what they punish amongst themselves most severely.

Buy some popcorn, and try it.

Oprah is still a very stupid woman.

"...another agenda altogether."

Yep.

“The problem with embryonic stem cells is that embryonic stem cells come from embryos, like all of us were made from embryos. And those cells can become any cell in the body. But it’s very hard to control them, and so they can become cancer.”

Good for Dr Oz for telling the TRUTH!
