- A U.S. Senate panel is holding a hearing on embryonic stem cell research today. A webcast of the hearing is here.
- The leader of OH Democrats for Life was denied a request to distribute her pamphlets at the Erie County Democratic Women events.
- Matt Bowman on embryonic stem cell research at CNN’s opinion site:
- Human embryonic stem cell research is the $10k toilet seat of the 21st century. Years ago, science created a cell that appears to be, in the words of an MIT study published last month, “virtually identical” to an embryonic stem cell but is cheaper, promises better compatibility to patients and kills no embryos. …
So, like many failed industries, embryo researchers demand a taxpayer bailout. They claim that they’re too big to fail, when in fact they’ve never succeeded.
NIH Director Francis Collins melodramatically announced that the district court’s injunction against his funding of embryonic stem cell research, in spite of the 1995 law against such funding, “poured sand into the engine of discovery.” The problem is that Collins is wasting taxpayer money on “discovering” the equivalent of the riverboat steam engine.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
I caught just a little of the Senate hearing with Collins on C-SPAN.
What a weasel.
I understand now why b o appointed him as Director of NIH.
Compared giving up research on ESC’s to giving up the reseach for a vaccine for polio.
Who could be against finding a preventative, even a cure for polio?
Collins never mentioned ‘No humans were deliberately harmed or killed in the creation of the polio vaccine’.
Arlen ‘road kill’ and lame duck Specter was the appointed set up man to lob soft softballs to Collins.
Did not hang around long enough to see if any of the Senators cared enough or were intelligent enough to make the observation.
I just can’t tolerate these charlatans and their charades.
November can not get here quick enough for me.
“Compared giving up research on ESC’s to giving up the reseach for a vaccine for polio.”
Many ESCR supporters got their bachelor’s degree at the College of Crappy Analogies.
