NEW DISCOVERY MOOTS EMBRYONIC STEM CELL DEBATE


BBC:
US scientists say they have discovered a new source of stem cells that could one day repair damaged human organs. Researchers successfully extracted the cells from the fluid that fills the womb in pregnancy and then grew them in lab experiments.
THIS MEANS THAT THERE IS NO NEED TO DESTROY ANY EMBRYOS IN ORDER TO EXTRACT THEIR STEM CELLS.

THIS NEWS MAKES INOPERATIVE THE ATTACKS AGAINST THOSE OF US WHO FAVORED USING ONLY ADULT STEM CELLS, AND DISFAVORED FARMING EMBRYOS.

I GUESS THIS MEANS THAT THE LEFTIES WILL HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER BOGEYMAN TO DEMAGOGUE US PRO-LIFERS WITH.

AND THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO COME UP WITH ANOTHER REASON TO JUSTIFY DESTROYING EMBRYOS.

***NOTE: I BET YOU THAT THEY KNEW THIS BEFORE THE LAST ELECTION AND THAT THEY HELD BACK THE NEWS IN ORDER TO HURT THE GOP. IT IS LIKELY: SCIENTIFIC PAPERS LIKE THIS TAKE MONTHS TO WRITE.

(CAPT ED CHIMES IN HERE. CNN/AP here.)

[**Aside: I believe that science could also moot the abortion debate. HOW?! By finding a safe and economical way for women with unwanted pregnancies to terminate their pregnancy without aborting the baby; their pregnancy could be terminated by extracting the embryo - and freezing it for later re-implantation in themselves, or donating it for later adotpion by another women. I think this is my fourth post on this in the last two years. IS ANYBODY LISTENING!?]
