NON-EMBRYONIC STEM CELL BREAKTHROUGH!



SCIENCE:
Whitehead Institute researchers have developed a novel method to remove potential cancer-causing genes during the reprogramming of skin cells from Parkinson's disease patients into an embryonic-stem-cell-like state.

Scientists then used the resulting induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells to derive dopamine-producing neurons, the cell type that degenerates in Parkinson's disease
patients.

This marks the first time researchers have generated human iPS cells that have maintained their embryonic stem-cell-like properties after the removal of reprogramming genes.

The findings are published in the March 6 edition of the journal Cell.
POWERFUL PLURIPOTENT STEM CELLS WITHOUT KILLING AN EMBRYO. THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS 5 WEEKS OLD.
  • GOOD.
  • BUSH WAS RIGHT.
  • OBAMA - WRONG.
THERE'S A DEEP HYPOCRISY AND COGNITIVE DISSONANCE JUST BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE LEFT'S LOVE-AFFAIR WITH EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.

  • NORMALLY, LEFTISTS - (CAN ONE EVER USE THAT WORD WITH REGARD TO LEFTISTS?!) - OPPOSE ALL "CORPORATE WELFARE".
  • BUT THEY APPLAUD FEDERAL AID FOR EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH.
  • WHY?
  • BECAUSE IT BUTTRESSES THEIR SUPPORT FOR ABORTION.
  • BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT DESTROYING EMBRYOS ON BEHALF OF SCIENCE IS OKAY, THEY FEEL THAT ABORTION IS NOT SO BAD.
  • TO ME, IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHETHER SCIENTISTS HARVEST OLD EMBRYOS OR CREATE THEM TO DESTROY THEM AND HARVEST THE CELLS: BOTH ARE IMMORAL BECAUSE THE EMBRYO IS A UNIQUE HUMAN.
  • AS SOON AS SPERM FERTILIZES EGG - THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION - A UNIQUE HUMAN EXISTS.
  • ONE WHO MIGHT WRITE SYMPHONIES, OR CURE CANCER, OR AVERAGE 65 POINTS PER BASKETBALL GAME, OR SING BETTER THAN PAVAROTTI. OR FALL IN LOVE WITH MY GREAT-GRAND-NEPHEW AND RAISE A CHILD WHO WILL SAVE YOUR GREAT-GRANDDAUGHTER'S LIFE. OR FIGHT FOR HER FREEDOM.
RHETORICAL QUESTION: WHAT IS BEING CONCEIVED AT THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION IF IT IS NOT A LIFE?

I AM GLAD THESE SCIENTISTS HAVE MADE THIS BREAKTHROUGH: WE DON'T NEED TO DESTROY EMBRYOS TO HARVEST STEM CELLS.

(AND ANOTHER THING: I HATE IT HOW THE LEFT AND THE MSM THEY DOMINATE DELIBERATELY CONFLATE STEM CELLS AND EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS.)
