RESPONSE TO STATE OF THE UNION
"BUSH IS IN FOR A DISAPPOINTMENT"
President G. W. Bush joined the growing club of cheerleaders who believe the impossible about embryonic stem cells. Whether one chooses to use real embryos or the faux-embryos discovered by the father of embryonics, Jamie Thomson, no humans will benefit from having embryonic stem cells implanted in their bodies for at least another decade. The cures are just not there and won't be until 2018, if at all.
Meanwhile, America continues to fall further and further behind, as the rest of the world now all but ignores the hopeless search for embryonic stem cell cures while concentrating on what has worked on human beings for over seven years---adult stem cells. While adult stem cells were once believed by scientists to hold only limited possibilities, it turns out that the scientific truth is:
"adult stem cell CURES are being discovered almost as quickly as sources of adult stem cells are being found by researchers"
Adult stem cells are both super-potent and non-cancerous stem cells and American "science" is all but ignoring their cures, successes and further future potential. American scientific hype continues to promote two erroneous and damaging myths.
1. That embryonic cures are merely waiting for Bush to leave office.
2. That adult stem cells can't do much of anything.
By these actions, American citizens are becoming the doomed inheritors of the world's largest second-rate stem cell treatment system. While the rest of the world redefines more and more incurable diseases as now being treatable, all America can do is trail Brazil, Germany, and Thailand in the development of therapies for the heart and falsely calling them "groundbreaking." Over and over we have heard their exclamations of victory but to date, there have been no diseases cured by embryonic stem cells.

Excerpt from State of the Union transcript
...On matters of life and science, we must trust in the innovative spirit of medical researchers and empower them to discover new treatments while respecting moral boundaries. In November, we witnessed a landmark achievement when scientists discovered a way to reprogram adult skin cells to act like embryonic stem cells. This breakthrough has the potential to move us beyond the divisive debates of the past by extending the frontiers of medicine without the destruction of human life. (Applause.)So we're expanding funding for this type of ethical medical research. And as we explore promising avenues of research, we must also ensure that all life is treated with the dignity it deserves. And so I call on Congress to pass legislation that bans unethical practices such as the buying, selling, patenting, or cloning of human life. (Applause.)TO read the entire SOTU click here:
