The debate on stem cells has become an important issue
in the Presidential campaign , the last debate, and
the passing away of Chris Reeves.
While most of us have a basic understanding of SCs,
and the Nat'l Institutes of Health in its website does
answer most of the questions, one keeps wondering why
the President is so opposed to something most
scientists would agree its a good thing for a mirade
of cures.
My understanding is that human embryonic stem cells
(hESC) are the way to go. It seems that adult stem
cells ie. hematopoietic stem cells,(HSCs) are the only
ones available for research and hESCs research
potential is stunted. Is the President just pandering
to the religious right?
Maybe some netter (or genetist) with a better
understanding can give us in layman terms what all
this means. Also, should ethics even be an issue when
hESCs are drawn from frozen embryos?
