Observe how much enthusiasm the MSM gives to their coverage of this exciting development.

I wonder if Californians can get there tax money back.

Adults are much more awkward to crack open in the back and suck the stem cells out. If this is going to take off, they're going to have to grow some smaller adults.

Yet perhaps the most significant advantage is that this apparent breakthrough might eliminate the ethical dilemma that has fused itself to embryonic stem-cell research.

Actually that is a huge negative. How can they beat up Bush when their phony issue is shown to be completely unnecessary? This story will not get out and there will be an enormous effort by mainstream medicine to try to discredit this. Conventional wisdom (read liberal agenda) does not just fade away when the evidence goes against it. Just look at the gay gene and the global warming hysteria for examples of this. Science has become corrupted.

A large, untapped source of stem cells is found in umbilical cord blood as the natural result of childbirth. Collect it, use it, do research with it.

This is what we're trying to impress upon the legislators in MA who are hell bent on getting approval for not only embryonic stem cell research, but also for 'therapeutic cloning'; the creation of embryos just for their stem cells.

Adult stem cells are not only more successful, they are easier on the patient who is having the stem cell treatment.
