Krauthammer was paralyzed in a diving accident in 1972. This accident caused severe damage to his spinal cord which permanently confined him to a wheel chair. Krauthammer would be open for the use of embryonic stem cells if it meant a cure for his condition.

However, stem cells from other sources look like the best route for the quest for regeneration of human tissues. Scientists at the Royal Adelaide Hospital's Hanson Institute are using discarded baby teeth to grow human tissue. Stem cells taken from such teeth are being used to grow all types of human tissue; including spinal cord tissue.

Just to abbreviate an earlier post of mine.

I am in my mid fifties and currently in remission for Leukemia. I cannot imagine sacrificing a human life to cook up a witches brew that once injected into me would cure my disease. It is reprehensible and in another time would be the stuff thought up by Nazi scientists.

This is nothing more than the cheapening of life caused by the casual acceptance of Abortion as a means to an end. To say the false Messiah sickens me would be much too kind.
