Embryonic Stem Cells Not Needed

Health and Science for Sunday 042510

Hey folks,

Did you catch this? According to HealthDay - Vatican Funds Adult Stem Cell Research

The Vatican announced Friday that it will fund adult stem cell research.

The $2.7 million donation will go to a University of Maryland School of Medicine-led effort looking at the potential use of adult stem cells to treat intestinal diseases and possible other conditions, the Associated Press reported.

The project is in the early stages and it would be years before it might produce any clinical treatments, officials said.

While it supports the use of adult stem cells, the Vatican opposes embryonic stem cell research because it requires the destruction of embryos, the AP reported.

Of course it's not destroying unborn babies. Of course the Vatican has not problem with it. But Obama DID, Monday March 9th 2009, ended restrictions on Federal Funding for Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Not that the Obama State run Media reported that. He signed an Executive Order rescinding President Bush's Ban on it.

Here are the FACTS though folks. Embryonic Stem Cell Research has accomplished NOTHING. It has shown NO benefits whatsoever. Yet, because the Left have linked it to Abortion, this Moron, Obama, who we all know is the most anti-life person ever elected to the highest office in the land, made it possible for YOU to pay for this failed Research.

Adult Stem Cells. Skin Cells have been turned into Stem Cells that resemble Embryonic Stem Cells without having to make or destroy an Embryo. Dr. Shinya Yamanaka is leading the way on this. Both of these ARE showing signs of Hope. All they had to do, the scientists said, was add four genes. The genes reprogrammed the chromosomes of the skin cells, making the cells into blank slates that should be able to turn into any of the 220 cell types of the human body, be it heart, brain, blood or bone.

As I pointed out on March 08, 2009, Obama No Friend Of Life,

So Embryonic Stem Cell Research is moot. It is pointless. It is a FAILURE. It is a waste of money. It is MURDER. But that does not matter to Obama. Here is a guy that did NOT want Doctors to save live aborted babies, nor does he want limits on Abortion. He just appointed a HUGE Pro-Murder person to the head of Healthcare and he told Doctors, "You will kill. Even if you do not believe in it."

It's not big news that the Vatican supports Adult Stem Cell Research. No one dies. Nothing is created just to be destroyed. This is the RIGHT way to go.
