Dr. David Prentice reports that, despite all the problems with unethical embryo-destroying research and human cloning, liberals in Congress still want to fund human cloning with your tax dollars.

 

If members of Congress really want to promote treatments and prevent human cloning they should support legislation like the Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2009 (H.R. 1050) which is a total ban on human cloning and the Patients First Act of 2009 (H.R. 877) which prioritizes ethical forms of stem cell research which have the most potential for actual treatments and cures.

LifeNews reports.  Excerpt:

 

Scientists and pro-life advocates say human embryonic stem cells are not ready for trial because problems associated with the cells in animals haven't been solved. The embryonic stem cells still cause tumors and have issues with the immune system rejecting the injection of the cells.

 

Geron had planned to begin the trials this summer but said it will halt that pending the FDA review and did not know how long it would take the regulatory agency to conduct its evaluation.

 

The FDA initially cleared the trials in January, which would involve 8 to 10 patients.

 

Embryonic stem cell research has never cured or helped any patients to this point. Only the use of adult stem cells and treatments derived from them have cured or reduced the effects of any diseases or conditions afflicting patients.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports on an exciting new way to obtain pluripotent stem cells (cells that can transform into any tissue type) from an ethical and abundant source, human blood.  Excerpts:

 

Cellular Dynamics is the first company to say it can make stem cells from something as readily available, and so representative of human diversity, as blood.

 

. . .

 

The stem cells, which scientists refer to as induced pluripotent stem cells, or iPS cells, have all the characteristics of embryonic stem cells [except they don’t involve destroying human embryos]. They can turn into beating heart cells, liver cells or any other tissue cells in the body.

LifeNews reports.  Apparently President Obama finds no use for ethical considerations when it comes to controversial issues like human cloning and embryo-destroying stem cell research.  The Culture of Life Foundation offers a “Requiem for the President’s Council on Bioethics.”  Excerpt:

 

Two weeks ago President Obama sent a memo to the members of the President’s Council on Bioethics (PCB) [1] informing them that their appointments were being prematurely terminated.

Researchers at the Children's Hospital & Research Center in Oakland, California have discovered a new way to harvest stem cells from the placenta.  This technique is a good use of the placenta which at the moment serves no medicinal purpose after birth and thus is discarded. What is more, the study “finds there are far more stem cells in placentas than in umbilical cord blood, and they can be safely extracted for transplantation.”

WCCO reports.  Excerpt:

 

Desperate to help her daughter, Radde surfed the Internet for answers. That's how she found out what a doctor at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago was doing.

 

Dr. Richard Burt is using patients' own stem cells to fight MS.

 

"This therapy's designed to reset your immune system," said Burt.

 

"He's been doing these stem cell transplants and every single person that has been in this program has halted their disease," said Radde.

 

"Eighty-one percent of them are actually healing and regenerating their myelin, and that's the covering on the nerves that every MS patient wants to keep," said Jung.
