As the stem cell issue looms as another defining factor in the upcoming election, we see the far left consistantly melding the two diametric components into intended obfuscation. Adult Stem Cells which hold promise are lumped with Embryonic Stem Cells which offer tumors. Ping to wagglebee thread on a clarification of the issue.

For instance it has been clearly demonstrated that non-embryonic stem cells (non-ESCs)—which include umbilical-cord cells, placental derived cells, as well as adult stem cells found in places such as blood, bone marrow, skin and breast—do not cause cancer in humans. Also, if non-ESCs are obtained from the patient or from a family member donor with a matching tissue type, the risk of immune rejection of the non-ESCs can be virtually eliminated.

By contrast, research has shown that embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are derived from embryos that are destroyed in the process, have great potential to produce cancer in humans...

Mikey involved here, too.

It's part of a pattern that has shown itself in the last days of the campaign. Mr. Crist said he opposed state intervention in the Terri Schiavo case, but Michael Schiavo's attorney corrected the record last week by noting that Mr. Crist's office had argued in favor of intervention three years ago. Mr. Crist said he favored civil unions between gays and lesbians, but The St. Petersburg Times reported in 2005 that he had signed a petition for a constitutional ban on such unions.

When it comes to fights, Crist is state's lightweight
