I disagree on the best. This very month there has been an announcement on a gene therapy treatment that has shown either a long term reduction of symptoms or potential cure of Parkinsons disease. It has only limited results right now (9 people in the trial), but it, unlike embryonic stem cell research, has shown possitive results in this front.
http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2006-10/sg-s2m101306.php There have been political arguments that completely ignore the alternatives that are not religiously objectionalble. The political mainstream makes it seem like embryonic stem cell research is the only possible cure for many diseases and conditions. The mainstream media does not help that either. I did not see this announcement on Fox, CNN, CBS or NBC (I ignore ABC for other reasons). I only found it through an ALS mailing list I belong to. >On 10/26/06, Russel Madere <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> I support stem cell research. I think it has great promise.
