Oprah trying to cover up Dr. Oz statement against embryonic stem cell research? “I think, Oprah, the stem cell debate is dead.” “The problem with embryonic stem cells is that embryonic stem cells come from embryos, like all of us are made from embryos, and those cells can become any cell in the body, but it’s very hard to control them and so they can become cancer.” “I can take a little bit of your skin, take those cells, get them to go back in time so they are like they were when you were first made, and then they will start to make that dopamine & I think those cells, because they won’t be as prone to cancer & because they’re your genes will be the ones that are ultimately used to cure Parkinsons.” “I think we are single digit years away from making a big impact in the lives of Parkinson’s disease but also diabetics, heart disease, people who have had a lot of problems.” ~Dr. Oz on Oprah tuesday March 31, 2009 This is not posted on her website. Youtube has taken it off it's video list. Is the media trying to cover it up?

Most scientists know that the VERY BEST and MOST USEFUL stem cells will turn out to be embryonic stem cells from cloned fetuses of the person using them. The reason is that these stem cells came from the person that will use them, so the body will not reject them. As embryonic stem cells, they can become ANY adult cell needed, with the full lifespan of such a cell. In animals, researchers have ALREADY cured diabetes, Parkinson's, paralysis due to nerve damage and other diseases where destruction of certain critical cells in the adult body is the cause. Cancer is a problem to be surmounted. Because of the bible-thumpers, cloning humans to produce fetuses for stem cells is verboten. Even though the cloned fetuses would never have existed except for the need for the stem cells. Unfortuanely, it looks like Obama will not take this issue on. Which basically means the cures will come from foreigners. Because the cures WILL come. Too much money is to be made and good to be done for them not to.
