Dr Paul:
While I respect your opinion, I clearly disagree with your speculation about the motives of these well-intentioned yet misdirected scientists. I can only speak from my own experience, but I do not see any conscious intention of these investigators to further the abortion industry even though pursuit of such studies clearly does weaken the respect for the dignity of all human life.

If you read the peer reviewed scientific literature, there are valid reasons for the inadequacy of current embryonic stem cell lines. While this does not morally justify the creation of NEW embryonic stem cell lines, it does provide an understandable (albeit morally problematic) motivation.

Most of the people I see beating the drum for more lines of federally-funded embryonic stem cells aren’t scientists at all, but “activists” of one stripe or another.

And yes, there are some disadvantages to having a limited number of lines – but until there is more evidence that embryonic stem cells can be controlled, there is no justification to rush to judgement, even if you aren’t convinced it is morally wrong.
 
Embryonic stem cells will never be predictable until we understand the how and why our genes are turned off and on from the time we are a single fertilized cell to create our whole bodies throughout our whole life span - that’s the really cool thing I love about our genetics and our biggest support in the pro-life vs. abortion debate. We know that our genes will do this we just don’t have any clue as to how yet - research with oncogenes is doing the most studying in this area now, at least as far as I know.
And as we all know in science if you can’t produce predictable results it’s just bad science, so these people pushing embryonic stem cell research either have no clue or must have other motivation.
Adult stem cell research, on the other hand, has produced predictable and positive results with patients - our money needs to go into that 👍

You’re right. We should use our limited resources in doing things we know can be done, and not pour billions into something whose main purpose is propaganda.
 
has anyone here had experience (good or bad) with placenta extract injections, a therapy which has been legal in Mexico for years, and on anecdotal evidence seems to be highly effective for inflammatory and auto-immune disorders, such as RA and lupus. Close to the border we have access to a very good practitioner who uses this therapy (as well as accupuncture and other alternative medicine, he is an MD and highly thought of). Several people personally know to me have had dramatic results from one-time treatments (expensive but worth it in their opinion).
