Have you heard that Stem Cells have been successfully used to cure Heart Failure?

We probably would have known this much earlier if one 8-year administration didn’t block its progress.

@Blackberry
I agree 100 percent.
That is one of my many concerns about the R.They do not wish to fund any research. They quote a bullshit line that it can be privately funded.
Bush allowed us to fall behind at most research.

I agree with @Blackberry. That administration misconstrued what stem cell research could accomplish.

This isn’t the type of stem cell research that is so controversial.

This is not Embryonic Stem Cell treatment, which was partially banned from federal funding. But it was never illegal for state funding or private research. Embryonic stem cells that scientists study come from early-stage embryos. It’s just controversial and doesn’t hold as much promise as other types of stem cell treatments. And if one follows the money trail, a case could be made that Embryonic research is just a money pit designed to attain perpetual funding from research that will never produce. In Missouri, after Amendment 2 passed a few years ago, it was written into the law that it could NEVER be overturned. And they had to redefine the formal definition of cloning to make it pass. It’s all a scam that just sucks up public funds for nothing. A clear case of Gov being in bed with Big Gen Big Pharm. More money was spent trying to get this law to pass than all other Missouri laws combined. It’s a joke.

But this story is a different type of treatment. One that shows real progress and has NEVER been controversial. From the article, “doctors are starting to use a patient’s own cardiac stem cells to help repair their hearts”.

There are many reasons to support Adult and/or Pluripotent Stem Cell research.

In case anyone would like to read about the facts on Stem Cell Research. See this site.

Bush and all those who believe their religion should rule America are like the Iranians. They are Fascist and immoral.
Our Seventy percent of American’s support Stem Cell Research. Only a small Minority oppose it.
Nancy Regan changed her mind when a lack of research and a cure killed Regan.
