Stem cell research has become an issue in the presidential campaign. Three years ago, President Bush limited federal funding of embryonic stem cell research to the 78 stem cell lines in existence on Aug. 9, 2001. His Democratic challenger, Senator John F. Kerry, has promised to give scientists more freedom. The religious right opposes the scientific work in which the culling of stem cells kills the embryos, equating that with abortion. Scientists and proponents, including former first lady Nancy Reagan and 58 Democrats and Republicans in the Senate, say embryonic stem cells have the ability to turn into all the cell types found in the body and have the potential to repair or replace cells destroyed by disease and provide cures for diabetes, Alzheimer's, and other diseases.

Well I've spent years and years in research labs. And no one there and you cannot refute the factual statements made. It's called tumor of the truth center in your brain. Dr. James C. Dobson Says Embryonic Stem-Cell Research Not the Answer Focus founder chides Senate for pressuring President Bush to relax funding restrictions "Contrary to ongoing research with adult stem cells, which do not cause death and are supported by President Bush and unimpeded federal funds, not one human being is being treated with embryonic stem cells anywhere in the world. No clinical trials are in progress using this approach. No studies with human embryonic stem cells are even being contemplated. None! And why not? Because these cells are unpredictable and tend to create tumors in animals being treated with them. lifesite.net
