American College of Pediatricians Calls for End to Embryonic Stem Cell Research cpforlife.org’s thread

Pediatricians Call for Support for Adult Stem Cell Research, saying that embryonic stem cell research is “fiscally irresponsible and medically unconscionable.”

NIH Stem Cell Basics

Rush Limbaugh and the Stem Cell Controversy

A Clarifying Five Years – Stem-cell politics under a microscope

Quote from this article: [E]mbryonic-stem-cell activists … declare dismissively that human embryos are simply microscopic “clumps of cells,” ignoring the biological fact that we all began our lives as embryos — that the term “embryo” refers to a stage of development in the life of an enduring individual, whose moral worth hardly depends on size or appearance.

Stem Cells: Embryonic vs. Non-Embryonic

Quote from this article:… research has shown that embryonic stem cells (ESCs), which are derived from embryos that are destroyed in the process, have great potential to produce cancer in humans. Also, with ESCs it is necessary to employ techniques to avoid immune rejection of ESCs. One technique, called somatic cell nuclear transfer, is being attempted worldwide to produce customized ESCs. As Time pointed out in a related article in the Aug. 7 issue, somatic cell nuclear transfer is a “term researchers use to avoid the more incendiary word cloning, even though it is the same technology that created Dolly the sheep.”
