White House hails stem cell breakthrough

The White House on Tuesday hailed reports that researchers have found a way to create stem cells from human skin.

Spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement that the new findings, unveiled by scientists in the U.S. and Japan, validate President Bush’s viewpoint that stem cell research can be advanced without destroying human embryos.

“The president believes medical problems can be solved without compromising either the high aims of science or the sanctity of human life,” Perino stated. “We will continue to encourage scientists to expand the frontiers of stem cell research and continue to advance the understanding of human biology in an ethically responsible way.”

Scientists expressed hope that the new research will attract federal funding because it could remove the political element from the debate. Experts believe that stem cell research could lead to the cure of many illnesses.

The White House pointed out that one of the studies announced Tuesday was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, in a program “operating under the president’s stem cell policy.”

1. Any useage is years away

and there are still several hurdles to overcome (per NPR interview today.) And the new procedure to create stem cells might itself cause cancer (per interview.)

Will religious zealots stop masturbating in the garage because of this news?

This news is tantamount to saying you can drive to the store in a Dodge or in a Chevrolet.

3. I thought it extremely ironic that the wh was hailing anything having

to do with stem cells, considering all they do is veto progress, and more might have been made by now had they not been so pigheaded.

2. Let the scientists/researchers decide which works best...

Spokeswoman Dana Perino said in a statement that the new findings, unveiled by scientists in the U.S. and Japan, validate President Bush’s viewpoint that stem cell research can be advanced without destroying human embryos.

Bush has no viewpoint, except the one his corporate masters want him to have...

6. Too bad for Dana

her resume can not be advanced WITHOUT SERVICE TO BUSH BEING ON IT.

dana and george saving blastocyts while vetoing efforts to save real lives who are dying because of his lies. Lord, THE CHRISTIANITY OF IT ALL.

Those embryos are in good conservative hands UNTIL THEY ARE BORN.

4. Well nobody knows embryology, molecular genetics, biochemistry, and ....

.... developmental biology better than bush.



Skin cells do not have the potential that cells from embryos seem to have.
And the embryos are gonna be pitched anyway.

BTW from years ago @ Harvard on the Hocking aka Ohio U .... sniffing things in a
lab is a big no no as far as safety is concerned. What an idiot.
