Jivin J’s Life Links 7-16-09

Addressing a 2007 WI convention 9 years later, [researcher James] Thomson articulated that the time frame had shifted to “decades away,” plural.
The scientist didn’t blame too little federal funding, as have others, according to the AP. (Indeed, it’s common for major publications to claim ESCR has been “banned.”) Rather Thomson blamed simple biology. Among other problems, ES cells require permanent use of dangerous immunosuppressive drugs. They have a nasty tendency to form tumors both malignant and benign including teratomas – meaning “monster tumor.” Teratomas can grow larger than a football and can contain eyeball parts, hair and teeth. Yech!
OK, so how many “decades?”

Walter Hoye = amazing. :)
Vannah, he certainly is. What an inspiration.
From the LA Times:
“In January, Hoye, who had no criminal record, was found guilty of two counts of breaking the Oakland law. The victims, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Robert Graff, were patients, although none complained to police and none testified against him…”
“What Hoye did next made him an instant celebrity in the antiabortion movement. Instead of agreeing to community service and three years’ probation, which would have required him to stay 100 yards away from the clinic, he chose jail.”
“I did not see how I could maintain my moral convictions, how I could give up my constitutionally guaranteed 1st Amendment rights,” Hoye said. “The only option left to me was — just go to jail…”
“On May 7, for the first time since his release April 7, Hoye was back on the sidewalk.”
“Since the law prohibits him from approaching patients, he decided to stand still and hold out a leaflet. He called this his “potted plant strategy.” Would that break the law? He hoped not.”
I hope not, too.
(Embryonic stem cells) “They have a nasty tendency to form tumors both malignant and benign including teratomas–meaning “monster tumor.” Teratomas can grow larger than a football and can contain eyeball parts, hair and teeth. Yech!”
That is so unpleasant, to put it mildly. Are the ESC labs full of Dr. Frankensteins or what? WHY isn’t the MSM talking about THIS?
Regarding the LA Times article and Rev. Haye’s arrest, was the rev. making threaten gestures, have threatening body language, or making verbal threats towards the clinic owner or was it a case of the boy who cried, “wolf!” and the clinic owner screamed out that he was threatening her even if he was not violent or threatening in any way in order to get rid of his obnoxious, if not benign prescence.
