Michael J. Fox is deeply saddened that he may not be able to use chopped up baby parts for medicine.

this can’t be good news for the ebryonic stem cell proponents.

appears to remove the need for any embryonic stem cells.

Thanks SeekAndFind. I suspect that the Obama administration will issue an executive order banning adult stem cell research in order to mollify his leftist constituents.

I really feel for Michael J. Fox and others and I understand how he could sell a piece of his soul on the false hopes bandied about by the embryonic stem cell pushers.

May he and others fighting those battles get the help and relief needed and hopefully soon their cure will be found.

May he also find forgiveness and redemption. I don't know him, but I know of others like him, vulnerable and suffering, being taken advantage of and used to promote things they never would have signed onto when their bodies were healthy and their heads were clear.

The scum who use people like Michael J. Fox to advance their political agenda deserve to feel God's wrath.

The leftists don’t care. They are far more interested in destroying “excess” life than they are in curing diseases.

This is why there are already a number of human embryonic stem cell lines in my home state of Connecticut despite considerable success from SCNT and other more ethical methods.
