Good Jub Obama!
He gets one thing right at least!!! :tro: :tro: ... lifting restrictions on stem cell research. Great news!
Bush was an idiot for a lot of things, and restricting stem cell research was one of them. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/firs...earch-funding/ |
Great. People will live longer and the population will spike!
Just what the world needs!! |

well, it wouldn't do anything. the more the gov makes, the more it spends. |

Not according to the whack job religious right.... 50 million babies will be murdered to support stem cell research. |
This is indeed terrific news. Bush was crazy, the political way he interfered in this. In my eyes, W. Bush is personally and morally responsible for delaying research into cures for diabetes, spinal cord injuries, etc., and breakthroughs in burn treatment, orthopaedics, organ transplantation, etc.
I read that FoxNews link, and of course that article goes off yapping on things that are not exactly true. Here's a more objective link (run it all together if it breaks): http://www.usatoday.com/news/washing...M_Exclude=Juno |

Scientists were forced in a good way to find other , maybe even better research with stem cells because the federal government didnt pay for embryonic research. Just because the federal government didnt pay for the research doesnt mean that there wasnt any happening , it just meant that instead of tax dollars paying for it , it was most ikely privately funded. |

And I was agreeing with you . My father just had some stem cell treatment for his Multiple Myloma (there is no cure) he is in remission and there is no sign of the cancer, for now, they actually took stem cells from his own body and froze them and then re-entered them back into his body via his sternum after they zapped him down to nothing with radiation. |
There is very strong evidence that shows ADULT stem cells are more usable in genetic work. Last week, there was a warning about infant cells being unable to fight off disease or something akin to that.

If FoxNews said the whole truth right up front, in the first paragraphs as they should, and stated it clearly, they couldn't then fill the body of the article with silly, imagination-based, politician fear-quotes. Quote:
These embryos will hit the trash bin whether stem cell research exists or not. No embryos are destroyed simply for stem-cell research. This is a science emphasis article. Or should be. FoxNews turns it into political fodder. Just like George W. did with the topic. |

would have received this treatement unless basic research way back in the 60's-70's FUNDED COMPLETELY by the federal government. The federal government sets the table in basic research, the private companies spawn and feed from this. This has been going on for a very long time in this country. Sorry to disappoint with the news. Next time anyone has a loved one that goes in for a bypass, or actually needs any coronary work, please refuse it. Refuse it because the basic research was FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT on dogs. THis set the stage way back for private companies to create fancy valves and methods we see today. HUGE misconceptions about how basic Science works in this country. FEDERAL GRANTS for basic research is ABSOLUTELY necessary for this country to stay in the lead in Science. |
