They say the ad is ambigious. I’ve heard the ad and at first it was What!? Then I listened closer the next time and realized they said stem cell research, not embryonic stem cell. There is a huge difference especially as more the more research that is done, the less there is needed to use embryonic stem cells.

IMHO....The bottom line is that there are scientists who want to create lungs, kidneys, hearts etc....to SELL.

Add getting the government controlling your health needs...

This isn't just about science...it's about greed.

A scientist at my alma mater, the University of Wisconsin Madison, was one if not the first person to devise a way to manipulate embryonic stem cells. The UW has since been involved in litigation over securing a patent for this procedure, clearly for monetary reasons since there have been no successes reported utilizing embryonic stem cells.

A married couple (alumni of the UW) donated I believe $200 million for the construction of a research lab for further embryonic stem cell research. Of course this was accepted with great fanfare, even though it fell at least $150 million short of the total construction cost of the lab. Initially, our dimwit governor, playing to the significant far-left sect of Madison, was outspoken about the gift's importance regarding the future of embryonic stem cell research.

As Pro_Life groups and others began to register their disdain and illustrate the many cures that have been realized by using adult stem cells, umbilical cord stem cells and skin stem cells, the governor never again mentioned that the research lab, which will be paid for, at least in part by my tax dollars, will be used to conduct embryonic stem research, although of course it will.

He now simply states that the newly constructed laboratory will be used to conduct stem cell research.

I pray that Sen. McCain will honor his commitment to ban embryonic stem research and focus research funds into tried and true stem cell research that not only works, but doesn't destroy a human life.
