Obama's needless perpetuation of a stem cell war
Topics:As Ryan T. Anderson puts it, Obama's decision is bad ethics, bad science, and bad politics.
And Anderson is right on all counts, especially given the new method of generating stem cells that does not require embryos as starting points and that could be used to generate cells from many adult tissues such as a patient's own skin cells. Add to this the fact that to date there have been zero cures found using embryonic stem cells which require the destruction of the living human embryo whereas adult stem cells have been successfully used to treat several diseases and conditions including leukemia, heart ailments and paralysis.
