US House backs stem cell research



The US House of Representatives has passed a bill backing embryonic stem cell research, marking a major challenge to President George W Bush.
The stem cell bill was among the top priorities for the Democrats, who took control of Congress last week, but Mr Bush has vowed to veto it. Advocates of stem cell research say it could lead to cures for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Mr Bush says the research would destroy
human life in the name of science.

The Interesting thing about this is Embryonic Stem Cell research has never been illegal in the US. Federal Funding has been illegal for it.

If there were any likely possibility for the successful cure of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson's than the drug companies would be all for it, and get there own funding but the science is obviously not there. There are some other obvious difficulties with embryonic stem cells

  • Its only success created tumor cell(cancer)
  • If a cure "were" created then there are not nearly enough embryo's available
    There would be required to be a massive number of women who would have to donate eggs. Due to the complication rate and the biological effects of egg donation there are some moral issues just with that.
  • There are other options that have always looked more promising.

We can thusly conclude that there is a social/ moral agenda at work here. That is no surprise but I wish that they would be honest.

With today's strong bipartisan vote, we now challenge President Bush to join
members from both sides of the aisle in supporting the hope of stem cell
research." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi

The Hope of stemm cell research is that we can live forever, there is no hope in that everyone dies. Nancy needs to learn the essentials of life. There has been plenty of stem cell research going on. The democrats and the agenda bandwagon have talke as though the only stem cell research has been Embrionic to confuse people and make them think that The President is anti-progress. I would like them to come clean on that as well.

Hope is only found in Jesus Christ.

US scientists reject interference


Some 10,000 US researchers have signed a statement protesting about political interference in the scientific process.
The Union said is was hopeful that the new Congress taking office in January would show a greater commitment to protecting the integrity of the scientific process.


Good science is always good, the problem is that the scientist talk and act as thought they have no agenda, but that is deceptive to the maximum. The scientist have protested in the past about fetal stem cell research funding. Telling the government that they are the arbiters of morality. The problem with these statements that these scientist make is that they are biased and someone should have oversight over the choices that they make and some of them have an agenda to push.
The other unique aspect is that science at its most basic level over the last one hundred years has not kept any integrity about the facts for modern science pushes evolution down our throats as scientific fact while saying that believing in a creator is religion and can not be science. Ignoring that evolution can not be substantiated from its very basis. Evolution cries contradictory to the second law of thermodynamics. The second law says that energy decays to an unstable form not to a more organized form, or that complexity does not come
without an outside force creating it.
They have a bigger lie in that they argue from statistics while misusing statistics. Frequently they will say if the chances are 1 in 100 than the one hundredth time it is bound to happen. Statistics says if its 1 in 100 than the 100th time its still 1 in 100. The odds that they use is 1 in 100,000,000 so its never going to happen and that optimistic thinking.
