Hold on a minute here.

As you yourself correctly noted, there are many sources of stem cells
besides embryos -- most of which have shown far more promise,
scientifically, than embryonic stem cells. And nobody's trying to ban
research with adult stem cells, placental stem cells, bone marrow stem
cells, or cord-blood stem cells.

No one has banned embryonic stem cell research, only limited federal
funding to 20-some existing lines. The governator just got Californians
to pony up several hundred million for embryonic stem cell research.
Again, there is no ban on the research, only some restrictions on the
federal funding for research, so no one is being denied anything in this
regard. Perhaps the proponents would do better by contributing
their own money rather than promoting falsehoods about a ban.


EXACTLY.. I suspect this was more of a liberal spin against Bush.
