New Stem Cell Research

A New Era Begins This research proves that there is an alternative to destroying humans embryos to study and use Stem Cells. The Democrats were saying they were going to fund stem cell research, If they are the centrists they claim to be, they will fund research using Adult or these "amniotic-fluid stem cells" and forgo funding for "embryonic" research which is immoral and now proven to be unnecessary.

These AFS cells look to be actually BETTER than embryonic cells for several reasons and have NO ethical baggage that I can see. Conservatives have been saying for a long time that we should not do medical experimentation on people (embryos) just because the hype says embryonic stem cells can cure just about anything. The hype machine was running full force and made conservatives out to be "anti-science" and "anti-progress" etc. Well, now the truth is coming out and we see that is a different and better way to get to the magical land of "Stem cell treatments" for many diseases. Most conservatives were never against using "stem cells" just against killing people to get those stem cells.

If any of this pans out to yield an actual treatment for a medical condition, I think this will be a good case study for medical ethics, we shouldn't allow the hype to carry us away and forget the significance of even the smallest and most helpless person, a human embryo.
