Harvard University researcher George Daley said: "There will never be a time when we don't need human embryonic stem cells. There may be - one day - a particular method that does not need embryos. But it will never obviate the value for human embryonic stem cells." Well, at least the death-mongers admit that embryos have "value."

It’s not a new era for stem cells, it’s a new era for federal stem cell pork.

Kalifornia is bazillions in deficits and they expect to be able to suck billions from taxpayers for putting human embryos in Waring blenders?

Hundreds of embryonic stem-cell lines that provide hope for treating devastating disorders such as sickle cell anemia and Down syndrome are available for research but are off-limits to federal scientists because of White House restrictions, scientists said Wednesday. The stem cell lines have been available for research
Just not federally funded

California's stem-cell funding agency - created by a 2004 ballot measure - is moving forward and in April will announce funding of new labs at major research centers, including four in the Bay Area. $6 Billion goes a long way, huh?

Hundreds of embryonic stem-cell lines that provide hope for treating devastating disorders such as sickle cell anemia and Down syndrome are available for research but are off-limits to federal scientists because of White House restrictions, scientists said Wednesday. This is an outright lie. Only federally-funded embryonic stem cells are off-limits, and there are no venture capitalists that want to put their money down on research that, so far, has shown nothing but failure.

The poor results to date have been the result of a lack of Federal funds.
The cell likes know who is paying the researcher, perhaps.

"Embryonic stem cells have the unique ability to be converted into almost any type of cell found in the body ..." What the author of this biased peice fails to point out is, embryonic stem cells being obtained from embryos (obtained by killing the embryo for them) are able to convert into nearly every tissue of the human body because an alive embryonic human being is building the tissues and organs needed for life in the air world! Kill a human being to get their cells is now to be touted as enlightenment!

stem-cell lines that provide hope "Provide hope."
So they don't actually do those things.

"Embryonic stem cells have the unique ability to be converted into almost any type of cell found in the body ..." Scientists have yet to find anything useful through their research. Idiots! is this what they want to accomplish?
We as a nation are doomed!God's judgment is comming!

Human stem cells derived from fat, bone marrow, placentas, and cord blood are making progress and even initial clinical trials. If these researchers are so eager to do stem cell research, start with the existing alternatives.
And turning adult cells into stem cells then back into what you want it to grow into hasn’t caused the cancer the “pure stem cells” have.

Had the experiments with embryonic stem cells of other higher non-human mammals been done and the techniques and goals perfected, this argument to get into human embryonic stem cells now might be harder to reject in the public forum. As it is, these scientists are seeking the gravy train more than the cures because they haven’t done the non-human experiments to perfect the methodologies. That disregard for the usual procedures tells you these scientists do not consider the embryonic aged human to be worthy of human status, just worthy of exploitation for human tissues. The old saw ‘follow the money’ is still accurate today.

Promise people that they can live forever and they will spend every cent of OPM that they can. These “scientists” should be imprisoned as you would any con artist.
That’s a good question. Why are people allowed to commit fraud if they pretend to be scientists?
