Comments on: Cantor Calls Embryonic Stem Cell Reversals A “Distraction” http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2009/03/09/cantor-calls-embryonic-stem-cell-reverals-a-distraction/ Beating Them With Their Own Sickle And Hammer Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:01:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: JP http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2009/03/09/cantor-calls-embryonic-stem-cell-reverals-a-distraction/comment-page-1/#comment-114581 JP Tue, 10 Mar 2009 08:57:09 +0000 http://www.stoptheaclu.com/?p=20607#comment-114581 Embryonic stem cell research is and has been active for years. The issue is whether or not taxpayer money should be used for it - not whether or not it's a worthy pursuit. University's want the government grants. That's what it's all about. Getting funding. Money. BTW I love your blog! Embryonic stem cell research is and has been active for years. The issue is whether or not taxpayer money should be used for it – not whether or not it’s a worthy pursuit.

University’s want the government grants. That’s what it’s all about. Getting funding. Money.
BTW I love your blog!

I am alive because I had a stem cell transplant in 1999. One of my best friends is also alive becasue of a transplant from her brother. She has host v graft disease as a result but I guarantee you she'd rather be alive with it than croaked without. My dad had Parkinsons disease and was increasingly miserable for twenty years before it finally killed him. The transplants my friend and I had aren't controversial, but they do work, and embryonic materials have even more promise. Big, big day for science!!!!

You mean like they have been divorced in the whole global warming (non) issue? Yeah, give me a break Barky. We have a professional speech-maker in the White House. How comforting.

The research on this junk science show that cancer cells kill the patients after the transplant. Getting out the word on junk science embyonic stem cell transplants is heard by everyone but the bamas and Arnie in CA. GOD is helping his creations to live by allowing the other adult stem cell and placenta stem cells transplants to cure all kinds of things including damaged heart cells. God Is Good.

Right, more government funding always decreases politics in science. I forgot that rule. I am for a diversity of funding sources and believe the government has a role in basic sciences, but who are the kidding about "taking politics out of science". It is like the Earmark issue. They were just the other sides earmarks and politics. For Thee, but not for Me.

That's great news! I assume this means no more pandering to the global warming lobby, right? So Obama will “restore scientific integrity in governmental decision-making”?
