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 [...]

Science has a way of solving our problems, and usually can do it within normal moral guidelines if given the chance to work without hype and speculation from the science-challenged media. Case in point, a potentially unlimited supply of stem cells from skin - the one organ that regenerates constantly and which can be [...]

Another problem we have is we are losing our respect for life. I guess in this culture of trivializing others we have become used to destroying rather than respecting. The House of Representatives came way too close to legislating the harvesting of young human beings for spare parts. The numbers are stunning:
The [...]

Researchers have been able to turn skin cells into stem cells in mice, giving researchers an unlimited supply of cells straight from the patient from which to creare therapies.
Three scientific teams published separate studies on Wednesday showing that embryonic stem cells can be made by reprogramming some of the genes in adult skin [...]

I have to note that the difference between Embryonic Stem Cell therapies and Adult Stem Cell Therapies are that the ESC therapies are always years away while ASC therapies are here now. So when I read this promise to correct Macular Degeneration (in five years time) I wondered how many people would kill a [...]

One needs to only look at today’s so called claim of ESCR success (one which is well behind similar results in heart patients from ASCR therapies) to understand why embryos are the desired sources for spare parts:
“We have developed for the first time a simple and highly scalable source of human hemangioblasts,” stated Shi-Jiang Lu, [...]

Want to know how many types of cells can be created from Adult Stem Cell procedures? Answer: All of them:
PrimeCell Therapeutics’ researchers have taken adult stem cells from mouse testes, the germ line, and reprogrammed them to exhibit pluripotentiality – the ability to transform into any other cell type in the body. Using human [...]

I have made the point the human Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) is premature since none of the potential benefits of cures or therapies has been demonstrated in animals yet. There has never been any reasonable explanation why research into the potential of ESCR cannot go forward with animal studies, especially using primates which [...]

I always said the Rick Santorum was vulnerable in PA because his opponent was very much like him on some key issues. One of the most important was now Senator Casey’s vote on Embryonic Stem Cell Research:
The life-saving issue of stem-cell research returned to the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, and Pennsylvania’s two senators, unfortunately, [...]

The world is totally messed up, a true mental case. Everyone seems to be out for themselves and ready to do what it takes to others to get what they want. How else do you explain the idea we can kill embryos for spare parts but refuse a woman’s request for her embryo [...]

In the never ending avalanche of successes coming from Adult Stem Cell Research, in light of all the dismal failures of Embryonic Stem Cell Research, we find adult stem cells harvested not from dead human beings but from needy patients are now curing diabetes:
In a breakthrough trial, 15 young patients with newly diagnosed type 1 [...]

I had thought the Dems would be the ones to implode over the next two years, but it seems the Reps are the ones who will sell their soul and turn to dust. I simply cannot abide a party that kills human beings for spare parts, when there are no scientific studies using animals [...]

The future of extremely long life for humans is less than 3-5 years away thanks to the miracle of adult stem cells (as opposed to the murder of human beings using embryonic stem cells). This breakthrough comes as scientists have been able to grow replacement heart valves from adult patient bone marrow cells:
Growing replacement [...]
