Embryonic stem cell researchers have been parading a lot of people in front of cameras who could possibly be helped by embryonic stem cell research. Yesterday I saw Parkinson's suffer Frank Carlucci who worked in the Reagan administration and a girl suffering from diabetes. Nancy Reagan has also been talking about President Reagan's Alzheimer's.
Adult (non-embryonic) stem cell research is helping Parkinson's sufferers already and mice have been healed of diabetes in animal studies at Harvard, but the Harvard researcher's work couldn't get funding for human trials from groups like The Juvenile Diabetes foundation. What's going on with embryonic stem cell research promoters and groups like JDF when there is ethical and far more promising research which could help the people they are supposed to speak for?
It's clear that the PR campaign of embryonic stem cell researchers and big bio-tech has had a mesmerizing impact. If they want to fight about it or criticize, just point to the 20 year scoreboard. There are over 70 stem cell successes and over 500 human trials underway... Michael Fumento says it's over 1000. None of these are embryonic stem cell successes or trials.
