I cannot find anything to further substantiate claims the embryos lived or died ... and since the only source saying such comes off a Baptist news site.
What I can say is that claims of preserving life must be proved before the Fed backs such research. I have my doubts that a company with this much on the line, so many years in developement would risk not just public and professional ridicule but their careers concerning such a finding so easily discoverable.
Me thinks the anti-stem cell crowd is very powerful in this country with enough guns to fight this for some time...to hell with the facts.
It's cloning they're really fighting.
This is a direct quote from Harkin. "ACT should have made it more clear from the beginning that none of the embryos survived," Harkin said.

Companies stretch the truth about their products all of the time, so I wouldn't be shocked. The Culture of Death crowd is very powerful.

Not many people I know are anti-stem cell. What they are is anti-embryonic stem cell. There is a great distinction between the two. You use the same language the DIMS and MSM use to confuse the issue.
What are the facts? It seems like Harkin is convinced that all of the embryos died.
