In what has to be the most ridiculous, upside down set of circumstances in the country MA has now determined the mention of religion is illegal but the harvesting of unborn embryos (scientifically accurate statement there folks) is legal. The state’s attorney general on Monday halted a proposed ballot referendum that sought to repeal the […]

I have now totally cleaned up the exrtaneous text which had nothing to do with stem cells I do not come out against embryonic stem cell research from the moral high ground – though it does exist. I come out against it because, from a scientific view, it is something being hyped and marketed by […]

A short notice on a recent announcment on adult stem cell research. After that is a long winded review of my views on stem cell research for new readers to understand where I am coming from on this subject. An article on the Annual Meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research highlights recent […]

Folks, when I try and write quickly to catch up, I end up becoming incoherent. The wife catches these all the time and is constantly running behind me cleaning up the text. I got an email on this post so here is the more coherent version: This article in SFgate is a classic example of […]

A seriously major break through for brain diseases and spinal/nerve injuries was announced today by the McKnight Brain Institute. While this is still in the animal research phase (rodents), it is something never before done with incredible potential. I have compiled a list of referrences here, here, and here. The aim is to use adult […]

I have been meaning to compile a listing of recent successes in adult stem cell research, the kinds of break throughs the MSM seem unwilling to report since it doesn’t progress their agenda on embryonic research. An act commonly known as propaganda. These are results that have been reported in the last few months alone: […]

Science Daily has some news out in the adult stem cell research. It includes some good background on the challenges in this field. While research on human embryonic stem cells gets most of the press, scientists are also investigating the potential therapeutic uses of adult stem cells. Although less controversial, this research faces other difficulties. […]

As I suspected in a previous post, the lack of tangible results in the embryonic stem cell research, coupled with success in various adult stem cell research, has had the effect of investment following the path of most promise. A Washington Times article covers this phenomenon and recognition in the research community embryo research may […]

Another great article that reveals the embryonic stem cell debate for what it is, hypothetical questions on theoretical cures – which may be achievable in 40 plus years – being treated as a reality we must deal with today. Confronted with that question, the U.S. House of Representatives voted last month to provide federal funding […]

Hat tip to Newsmax for finding this one. This is amazing news which could, as Newsmax says, render all discussions of embryonic stem cell research moot. Embryonic stem cell research, to date, has shown no tangible results. But adult stem cell research is blazing trails on many fronts. Adult stem cells are the best option […]
