NIH Director Francis Collins has added two more lines of human embryonic stem cells to its Registry, bringing the current total to 93 lines approved for federal funding.
Approval for listing in the NIH registry allows federal taxpayer funds to be used for experiments with these cells, creating an incentive for investigators to destroy more embryos and bring their own embryonic stem cell lines to the federal feeding trough.
The two hESC lines are from BioTime, Inc., which designates them ESI-014 and ESI-017. According to the listing, the embryonic stem cells cannot be used for diagnostic or therapeutic uses.
Collins and the NIH have continued to tout embryonic stem cells, which have not helped a single patient, including pouring an increasing share of federal stem cell funds on human embryonic stem cells, decidedly NOT putting the patients first. Meanwhile they continue ignoring the published benefits of adult stem cells to thousands of patients. You can meet a few of those thousands whose health has been improved with adult stem cells.
Got the peace medal right???...Kill! Kill! Kill! Same ethics as his Muzzie relatives.
If that idiot was so knee-jerk pro-abortion, he would not allow funding on embryonic stem cell research just because it is a waste of money. But then, when has a politician (R or D) ever cared about wasting money?
Maybe this is needed............. to improve the flavor of milkshakes.
Heck, they might even make broccoli palatable. (I hate that evil weed)
Our country is without a leader.
I hold that any society that refuses to respect the sanctity of life, does not themselves deserve their own life.
Hey for liberal Dems wasting taxpayer money and getting dead babies is just a win-win for them. That most conservatives are sickened by it all is gravy, too.
NO! NO! NO!
No surprise here.
There are some drugs useful in suppressing the rejection but they also destroy your ability to respond to disease.
The ONLY stem cells that you can get to live in your own body came from your own body.
