Stem Cells
Yesterday marked the 3 year anniversary on Bush's stem cell research ban. Some People have tried defending it, particular since Bush 'allowed' 60 lines of stem cells.
However, of those 60 lines, only 19 have been considerd viable for us in research. And of those 19, all of them were produced in conjunction with mouse cells, meaning they have been contaminated. Now, three years later, European and Japanese scientists have found better ways of growing stem cells, but American scientists can't use these lines of cells since Bush banned new stem cell lines.
The Alzheimer's Assocation predicts 5 million people will be afflicted with the disease by 2050. They will all be as confused as I am now why Bush is limiting promising research that could reduce or eliminate this disease.
Meanwhile while we talk about outsourcing, stem cell research has been a major part in pushing innovative scientific research to Japan and Europe where they do not have archaic thinking leaders limiting promising scientific research. Europe alredy Did That.
I never thought I would agree with a guy named Ron Reagan, but do as he says and vote for stem cell research, i.e. John Kerry.
