Scientists in Britain face being barred from developing life-saving treatments

Their headline is misleading. Such treatments don't exist.

Yes, indeed. “developing” implies that something already exists. What is banned is performing experiments that entail the killing of human embryos if he they had no more value than an unborn chick.

When will they start caring about people being murdered all over the world by islamics? They don’t about the living, and they don’t care to save the living, but they will save the few cells that were aborted or could never become a human life. Such fake “caring” and islamic murders are taking us back into the Dark Ages.

Adult stem cells have some utility (including the fat cells from your sides), but embryo stem cells have shown to be a cropper.

You are absolutely correct -- the score of stem cell reproduction and use for cures that comes from live donors; or cord blood; or from one's self -- has hundreds of success stories and the score of the petri dish babies who are sacrificed (murdered) in search of cures -- is an abject and absolute ZERO!

That is correct. "Embryoinic" stem cells have the inconvenient tendency to proliferate into uncontrolled tumors, killing the recipient. There is not one documented successful application of embryonic stem cells.

I was thinking the same thing. Of course, even if embryonic sc treatments did help people, it would be wrong, but as it happens embryonic stem cells make patients worse, as they cause tumors, etc..
