Let's talk facts . . .

Bush fails again? Bwahahahahahha. It wasn't the
President who lost the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Where are you living? The land of Oz?

The current state of affairs with respect to stem cell
research has nothing to do with the so-called religious
right. Only liberal bigots think such weird thoughts.

It's all about economics. For your information the best
source of adult stem cells in from adipose tissue (fat)
which most Americans have in abundance. The best
way to cure ourselves is to use our own stem cells
for the job, not killing fetuses.

There is no ban on private research into stem cells to
fight and cure disease. There is a govt. ban on spending
tax dollars on fetal stem cell research but only on new
lines of fetal cells which would be gotten by destroying
fetuses. (murdering babies).

There is no government ban on spending tax money on
existing lines of fetal stem cell research. As a matter
of fact, President Bush has signed appropriations
larger than his predecessor on fetal stem cell research
on existing lines.

Idiots like John Edwards who claimed if it weren't
for George W. Bush, cripple people would be getting
out of their wheelchairs and walking are just that -
IDIOTS.

There is no research to date on ANY kind of stem cells
that shows broken spinal cords can be fused back together
and made wholly functional again.

Stop being so damned gullible and ignorant.

Research shows that many diseases can be cured - not just suppressed but
cured using your own stem cells - but how to get enough to do the job? The
answer is to strip a cell - say a frog egg of its DNA, replace it with yours
and do a little well proven medical hocus pocus and the cell begins to
divide and redivide into *your* stem cells - cells that can repair damaged
tissues to cure diabetes, parkinsons, et al. Why aren't we pursueing this?
Because the religious right thinks it is wrong and they control enough US
politicians to prevent it happening in the USA. Thank goodness the rest of
the world disagrees.



NITED NATIONS, Nov. 19 - Faced with polarizing division in the 191-member
General Assembly, the United States on Friday abandoned its aggressively
pursued attempt to obtain a United Nations treaty banning all human cloning,
including that done in the name of medical research.

The outcome - an agreement to come up with a nonbinding declaration against
cloning to reproduce humans - fell far short of the American goal and
represented a setback for President Bush. He called for a worldwide ban on
all cloning when he addressed the United Nations General Assembly in August,
and he made limiting stem cell and other related research an issue in his
presidential campaign.
