A bill to remove South Dakota’s restrictions against embryonic stem cell research was introduced yesterday in the state senate.
SB 195 would strike from SDCL 34-14 the language prohibiting human embryos from being used for research.  The bill was sponsored by Senators Nesselhuf, Adelstein, Nelson, and Turbak Berry and Representatives Engels, Blake, Cutler, Dreyer, Hoffman, Hunhoff (Bernie), [...] Read more »

Among the executive orders President Barack Obama is likely to sign upon inauguration:
- Repeal EO preventing foreign aid from going to pro-abortion groups
- Remove restrictions on federal funding for embryonic stem cell research (there is NO reason to fund human-life-destroying embryonic stem cell research when adult stem cell research has already produced around 80 successful [...] Read more »

The only major area where pro-lifers have been discontent with John McCain–within that issue–is embryonic stem cell research.
McCain supports it, while pro-lifers rightly point out that it involves the intentional destruction of innocent human life. Embryonic stem cell research not only destroys human life but is unnecessary since adult stem cell research already produced [...] Read more »

While the pro-death community continues to push embryonic stem cell research, even though it has yet to produce a single medical success, Scientific American points out yet another problem with this line of research.
Not only does it involve the destruction of human life, the human body tends to reject these sells as foreign (which they [...] Read more »

Adult stem cell research continues to enjoy successes, while we have yet to see a single success from the much vaunted embryonic stem cell research
Recent trials in Australia have shown tremendous results regenerating bone after serious injuries. These trials involved subjects who had received serious injuries, but were still not healed after many months.

The Argus Leader ran a story yesterday telling us that “Sanford eyes stem cell study.” They didn’t tell us what kind of stem cell studies; important since there are basically two or three kinds (embryonic, umbilical cord, and adult), and while one is benign, the other has ominous moral and ethical implications. And the embryonic [...] Read more »

Chalk up yet another success for adult stem cell research; meanwhile, the crickets still chirp for a single success from the human-life-destroying embryonic stem cell research.
CitizenLink calls attention to at article in the Star-Telegram and Digital Journal about an athlete being successfully treated for meningitis-related damage to his limbs.
Two weeks after treatment, the soles of [...] Read more »

You’ve probably heard a number of conservatives including Rush Limbaugh say that Senator John McCain isn’t a good conservative. But is that really true? Are such statements based upon solid evidence, or just some personal animosity toward the man?
Today Human Events has posted a piece by Chris Field examining John McCain’s record on some key [...] Read more »

LifeNews points to an interview of Mitt Romney by Katie Couric of CBS News and says Romney opposes embryonic stem cell research…except when he’s for it. Here’s the “against it” part:
“I’m very much in favor of stem cell research, but in a way which I believe is moral and ethical,” he said.
That means he opposes [...] Read more »

From LifeNews, researchers say they’ve come up with a way to force adult stem cells to return to a more malleable, less specialized state which essentially gives them the characteristics which make embryonic stem cells valuable in medical research–but without destroying human life.
It’s not perfect yet, as the excerpt below indicates, but it looks promising:
The [...] Read more »

Science Daily is reporting yet another adult stem cell advance.
This one involves adult stem cells taken from blood vessels and researchers believe it will be effective in repairing heart tissue, bone, cartilage and muscles.
“To make this available as a therapy, we would take a muscle biopsy from a patient with a muscle injury or disease, [...] Read more »

Predictably, our congressional representative voted in favor of destroying human embryos for the hope they might someday lead to cures.
From the Argus Leader:
Rep. Stephanie Herseth Sandlin voted for the bill and for a similar measure in January. She said the research offers tremendous prospects for new treatment of diseases. Without a coherent federal policy, research [...] Read more »

From Breitbart.com:
In a big step toward a long-sought goal, three teams of scientists say they’ve produced the equivalent of embryonic stem cells, at least in mice, without taking the controversial step of destroying embryos.
Their procedure makes ordinary skin cells behave like stem cells. If the same can be done with human cells—a big if—the [...] Read more »
