    There was funding for stem cells before Bush, it just wasn't in law, it was part of other projects. And Bush did do away with alot of the funding for ALL stem cell research.

    stop being a religious zealot http://sugaya.ucf.edu/news/07022004.pdf But maybe not impossible. In one tantalizing study, neuroscientist Kiminobu Sugaya of the University of Central Florida, Orlando, transplanted about 10,000 human neural stem cells from fetuses into the brains of memory-impaired rats, whose age of 24 months corresponds to a human age of about 80. After the transplant, most of the once-forgetful rats could navigate a water maze, a test of memory, as adeptly as rats one-fourth their age. Even more strikingly, microscopic examination showed that the stem cells had not only differentiated into neurons. They had also "become incorporated into brain areas related to spatial memory," says Prof. Sugaya. The key, he believes, was injecting the stem cells into the region of the mouse brain from which its own neural stem cells surge out and migrate to their targets. Maybe damaged neurons send out an SOS, attracting replacement cells. If so, then transplanted cells may also receive the SOS and find the target.

    bullshit, thanks for posting anonymously http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/05/09/tech/mai n553079.shtml The finding that only 11 cell lines are currently available instead of more than 70 led to a call for lifting the restrictions and development of new cell lines.

    you are a dumb mother fucker, adult stem cells can only be used in a few therapies because they are already programmed to do something, embryonic stem cells have the potential to cure a whole medical library of diseases because they can be used to fill in for almost any other cell. That means spinal cord injuries, heart dieseas, diabetes, alzheimers, and even bone marrow for people who are going through chemo.

    cutting off that funidng stopped many research projects as well as put some researchers out of work, seriously delaying the development of fetal stem cell treatments, which by all accounts are more useful than the kind used here.

    Iraq now is worse then the way Iraq was under Hussein, we have opened the country up to fundamentalist islamic terrorists, something Hussein never did, we have killed some 100,000 innocent people. And now most of the cities are in ruins. America bombed civilian targets in defiance of internation law. And yes the UN charter is US law, it was a treaty voted on in the Senate and approved by them and the President. It is binding everywhere in the world. And the UN Charter ONLY says that defensive wars are legal, the invasion of Iraq was purely offensive, it made no threat to the United States, it was not part of any terrorist group that has attacked americans. You are a damned fool.
