Stem Cells

The Stem Cell funding debate has been high on MSM emotions, but low on details. As an example, most Liberals seem to think Bush has banned All Stem Cell Research, or at least Embryonic Stem Cell research. Actually, he has merely banned further federal funding for Embryonic Stem Cell research.

Embryonic Stem Cells also seem to have a problem. They don’t work. There are at least 4 sources of stem cells that work, yet all I hear is “Bush banned StemCell Research”

h/t to Tom Blumer, Terry Trippany, Christopher Fotos, and Ken Shepherd

Embryonic Stem Cells are not usable, why the deceit that they are?

  1. 20 years, but no use for Embryonic Stem Cells: The Heritage Foundation - Federal Stem Cell Research: What Taxpayers Should Know
  2. Why lie about Emrbyonic Stem Cells Working?: Washington Post - Critic Alleges Deceit in Study On Stem Cells

Non-Embryonic Stem Cell sources

  1. Amniotic Fluid: Scientific American - New Source of Stem Cells: Amniotic Fluid
  2. Blood: Cellerant Therapeutics - Cellerant Therapeutics Reversed Autoimmune Disease in Lupus Mice with Transplant of Purified Donor Blood Stem Cells
  3. Nasal: CNN - Potential seen in adult stem cells

The Stem Cell funding debate has been high on MSM emotions, but low on details. As an example, most Liberals seem to think Bush has banned All Stem Cell Research, or at least Embryonic Stem Cell research. Actually, he has merely banned further federal funding for Embryonic Stem Cell research.

Embryonic Stem Cells also seem to have this little problem. They don’t work. There are at least 6 sources of stem cells that work, yet all I hear is “Bush banned Stem Cell Research”
