Re: [QUAD-L] stem cell research

Now you got it! The feds are funding it, but under such restrictive rules they haven't the resources to perform and duplicate experiments independently. The existing stem cells have been proven to be contaminated. The rules still say that's all they can use. It is lip service. The Bush administration has wrapped itself in stupidity and they are damn proud of it. Remember, morons have rights too!   In a message dated 6/1/2005 8:28:03 P.M.

Private funded researchers tend to not waste money like their Fedraly funded counterparts, and can make the most rapid advances. Once private research has found a proven technology, then the Federal dollars will flow. Most medical advances actualy start this way. IMHO the media is over playing this issue to further the "Progressive Ideologies" which includes abortion and euthenasia. While Embryonic stem cells "MIGHT" be the answer, there is no proof that it is more promising than stem cells harvested from the person needing treatment. Until that proof unfolds, I'd rather see our gov err on the side of caution in regards to ethics.
