Stem Cell Research
Hillary Clinton now claims that Bush is “at war with science”. Hold on, doesn’t that sound like a ”Bumper Sticker” slogan? Nevermind, the “war on terror” is a bumper sticker slogan, but according to Clinton, a “war on science” is a valid argument. Of course, she’s referring to Bush’s opposition to embryonic stem cell research. Now, as most scientists not reading from the Democrat’s talking point book would agree, it is adult stem cells, not embryonic ones, that have proven most effective in curing disease. Here is a quote from the 21st Century Science & Technology Magazine:
Of course, Democrats don’t want you to know this. They want you to believe that embryonic stem cell research is this incredible cure-all-diseases miracle, even though it is actually a somewhat failed and limited area of research. Why not just use adult stem cells, which are more effective, and don’t involve the destruction of a human embryo. Everybody wins with this scenario...except the Democrats. They love pushing embryonic research because they can make it seem as if Republicans are trying to “stop science”, or “go to war with it”. You don’t see Republicans claiming that Democrats are “at war with babies”, do you?
Embryonic stem cells are taken from a developing embryo at the blastocyst stage, destroying the embryo, a developing human life. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, are found in all tissues of the growing human being and, according to latest reports, also have the potential to transform themselves into practically all other cell types, or revert to being stem cells with greater reproductive capacity. Embryonic stem cells have not yet been used for even one therapy, while adult stem cells have already been successfully used in numerous patients, including for cardiac infarction (death of some of the heart tissue).
