Blinding me with SCIENCE

Representative Leonard BOZO-well comes across as a desperate politician who only cares about being re-elected.

He has pandered to a little girl with diabetes during his debates and he has slammed President Bush and Jeff Lamberti for their stands on stem cell research.

He's tried to intimate that the President and Lamberti are against stem cell research. I know the President respects life, but his veto this summer only prevented further federal funding and did not stop stem cell research.

Here's what BOZO-well had to say about the President July 19....

"Science, not special interests, should steer lifesaving medical research. The research community has made tremendous strides in recent years in a number of areas. Many believe stem cell research is pivotal in the fight to cure juvenile diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries and other disorders. This is revolutionary research....

It is unfortunate that President Bush has chosen to block this important research. It is a mistake for him to issue his first veto on this measure. Special interests should not scuttle critical research on deadly and debilitating diseases. This is a chance for America to move forward and not fall behind in scientific research."

Here's what I wrote about on August 17 (Dummycrat Demagoguery)...

Ronald D.G. McKay, a stem cell researcher at the National Institute of Health (NIH), has admitted publicly that stem cells as an Alzheimer's cure are a fiction, but that "people need a fairy tale."

George Bush is the first president to approve federal funding for stem cell research. There are lines of stem cells now available. There is no ban, President Bush vetoed expanding federal funding of embryonic stem cell research. If embryonic stem cell research was so promising it would attract private investment, like Adult stem cell research.

Now fast forward to October 22....

Injecting human embryonic stem cells into the brains of Parkinson's disease patients may cause tumors to form, U.S. researchers reported on Sunday.

Steven Goldman and colleagues at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York said human stem cells injected into rat brains turned into cells that looked like early tumors.

....Goldman's team used human embryonic stem cells. Taken from days-old embryos, these cells can form any kind of cell in the body. This batch had been cultured in substances aimed at making them become brain cells.

...Scientists have long feared that human embryonic stem cells could turn into tumors, because of their pliability.

If BOZO-well had any integrity and actually cared about his constituents, he would truthfully speak about how any REAL scientific progress doesn't come from embryonic stem cells, but from adult stem cells.
