From the thread on the new McCain stem cell ad:
‘The omission (of embryonic research from the ad) is not a signal that McCain is backing away from his record in favor of embryonic stem cell research, spokesman Brian Rogers said.
“Clearly, John McCain supports it,” he said, emphasizing that the ad is intended to refer to all forms of stem cell research, including experiments using human embryos and those using cells from adults.’
So, does this mean McCain supports stem cell research using embryos that already exist? How does one acquire these embryos without “growing” them?
I’ll give McCain the benefit of the doubt and assume there’s some communication snafu. But the McCain camp needs to stop sending mixed signals.
BTW...I’m not trying to argue. I’m just trying to help clear this up so we can move on.
The existing strands that Bush released were supposed to be split to infinity just about. He could be referring to research on those strands. That would not entail the creation of new Embryos for research.
