Tell that to my dad, macular degeneration has robbed him of his sight.
And yes, he has volunteered to be and been a guinea pig on an experimental procedure (Not stem cell related)
they can find the traps now I betcha
And the bottom line of the argument is that embryonic stem cells are the shadow effort of the pro-abortion lobby groups. That is the only reason to push to hot and heavy for embryonic stem cell research when two other totally uncontroversial MUCH more plentiful sources of the same kinds of stem cells which have been proven to benefit HUMANS, but those are deliberately ignored by the media, whoare lap dog $2 w****s for the pro-abortion lobby. This is the bottom line.
I challenge anyone to post evidence of embryonic stem cells that have shown ANY benefits in humans, because my wife has found several times more material on how adult and umbillical stem cells actually help humans, and since no one opposes their use, there is no other explaination as to why there is still a push to use embryonic stem cells, when the other is so plentiful and uncontroversial and actually shows great benefits. I liken it to natural resources like oil. If there is oil bubbling up on the grounds surface, and just under the surface, and then there is some oil miles under the water, or in harsh terrain that is very hard and expensive to get to, who in their right mind will demand that the hard to obtain oil be drilled on first, ignoring the oil sitting on or just below the surface? That's just foolish. The stem cell debate isn't about stem cells, it's about abortion. The pro-death protesters desperately want embryonic stem cells so they can further try and show that human embryos are just tissue and not any kind of human life. That's the reality of this whole thing.
If there were no embryonic stem cells and it was another hard to obtain kind of tissue that was the third wheel, it would have been dumped years ago and the debate would have never happenen and the other two kinds would have been further along by now. So really, people that could have been helped at this point HAVEN'T been because the pro-abortion activists so demand that embryonic stem cells be the only kind used. THAT is sick. Creating embryos just to kill them, not coming up with cures for anything, and at the same time, delaying the help that people need and could have received for years, becqause of an agenda to protect abortion by dehumanizing the human embryo. The pro-abortion crowd are really sick people.
"Yep - using dead babies to help rats see better."
Well, at least it might help rats to open their eyes and see the real threat?.. And stop blaming Bush for everything in this world.
What exactly does this mean?
Why wasn't this "fact" written as, "A bank of 200 human embryonic stem cell lines could match the entire U.S. population"?
Is some important detail being left out?
