Those new to this site might no have been keeping up with my position on embryonic stem cell research and how I find it another example of snake oil chicanery. I have a BS in biology and understand the challenges of decoding the myriad factors required to turn on/off genes so they can express themselves […]
Folks, McCain is not a conservative in one key area - he is not pro-life. He opposes abortion, but that is the choice of one mother over one pregnancy. However, McCain is all for corporations slaughtering thousands of young humans each year for research and spare parts (e.g., profits):
Campaigning in South Carolina, […]
People need to see understand what extremes exist within the medical community. In the UK where the government bureaucrats run medicine (and because of that fact they have squashed all incentive for research and new ideas) they are planning on raiding the bodies of dead people for spare parts:
[PM] Gordon Brown has thrown […]
The need to kill young humans for spare parts hit another snag today:
A drug used for arthritis can reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s “in minutes”.
It appears to tackle one of the main features of the disease - inflammation in the brain.
The drug, called Enbrel, is injected into the spine where it blocks a chemical responsible […]
As if to drive a stake through the heart of Embryonic Stem Cell Research, which took a hit just a few days ago with the news of a way to create stem cells from human skin cells, we now learn of another major breakthrough in adult stem cell therapies, which as has been announced:
Using […]
Just a reminder that I have a BS degree in Biology so I am fairly qualified to give my opinions on the Stem Cell debate. With that said, I do not use much of my degree in my career as Systems Engineer for NASA and the DoD - but I did do biological research […]
The proponents of embryonic stem cell research continue to deny their mistakes in light of the new process of turning skin cells into stem cells. And they continue to try and rationalize why they were not that wrong, and in the process exposing their gaping ignorance of the basic science of biology that is […]
Stem Cell Lies Continue - but at least it is the falsehood of pretending what positions the ESCR fanatics took now that they have egg on their face with the recent news on stem cells derived from skin cells.
Those who claimed you had to kill young humans to gain access to stem cells are all […]
The need for Embryonic Stem Cell Research is now gone. Instead of creating factories full of young human beings (they ain’t monkey embryos) and heading towards a future where there are more human embryos waiting to be harvested for spare parts than in wombs waiting to live, the Adult Stem Cell path has proven […]
There was a time when scientists and doctors thought the best way to cure the diseases plaguing humanity was to bleed the poisons from them. Besides not doing anything productive the process could actually have a bad effect and weaken the patient enough to kill them.
As dumb as this sounds it was […]
I have written many times about the exaggerated claims surrounding Embryonic Stem Cell made by people who should know better. The reality is Embyronic Stem Cells cannot be controlled in terms of guiding them to assume the form of replacement cells and tissues to battle diseases. In fact they tend to create tumors […]
For those who have faulty heart valves there is now a scientific breakthrough to create new valves from their own bone marrow. In another stunning breakthrough for Adult Stem Cell Research, replacement heart valves are being grown from adult stem cells, avoiding the problem of tissue rejection completely:
In April, a team led by heart […]
Some researchers in California (so much for the myth there is no ESCR in the US) are making the claim they can take out embryonic stem cells without ‘destroying’ the embryo. Their track record is one more of snake oil peddlers than scientists:
Scientists said they grew colonies of human stem cells without harming the […]
President Bush (or President Jorge to his GOP bretheren) is standing tall on another critical issue - life. He is going to veto a bill that would provide for harvesting young human beings for the spare parts. Spare parts lying dormant as blue prints inside the stem cells of their young bodies. […]
To do biological and medical research you need to put aside or turn of a lot of human emotion and become more machine than human being. It is necessary to go in and cut something in order to save it, or kill it in order to find new knowledge. I know from first […]
