How sad that a deluded U.S. senator is trying to promote a bill for funding for embryonic stem cell research. ALS sufferers were with the senator and unaware that they have been led down the garden path. The false promises made by advocates of embryonic stem cells strike me as heartless and exploitative of the millions suffering from devastating diseases.
When no less a body than the American College of Pediatricians calls for an end to embryonic research, "which prolongs needless suffering by delaying the development of more promising adult stem cell treatments and cures" one would think legislators would sit up and take notice. It has been well documented that embryonic stem cell trials have to date produced "catasprophic results... producing the wong tissue, forming tumors, and triggering immune rejection".What a waste of money!!
It angers me that a fraction of the public money sucked out of the taxpayer could have much more profitably gone to the established utility and further potential of adult stem cells.
Just talk to the hundreds of people who had been told there was nothing more that could be done for them and that they may as well go home and prepare to die, who have had their lives restored by adult stem cell therapies that are available right now. Within the next year hundreds more will have been treated while lobbyists lobby for something going nowhere.
Cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease and congestive heart failure patients can get off the drug and surgery treadmill now and get active and well. That's a miracle - and we carry the body's own repair kit within us!
