SB 74 has been amended in a desperate effort to gain some access to the product of embryonic stem cell research, and a vote in the South Dakota Senate is expected Wed. Feb. 3. The bill no longer calls for an outright repeal of the ban on ESCR in South Dakota, but would allow treatments derived from ESCR elsewhere to be brought into South Dakota. The bill is still practically unnecessary and morally reprehensible. Read more »

A bill has been introduced in the South Dakota legislature to repeal South Dakota’s ban on embryonic stem cell therapy and human cloning. But this line of research has produced no successes, while adult stem cell research has produced dozens of successful therapies for suffering people. The campaign to repeal South Dakota’s law is based on emotionalism and deception, not real science and truth. Read more »

As we take one final look back on the almost defunct year of 2009, these are the top 50 articles at Dakota Voice during the year, based on the number of hits they received.

Take a walk with us down memory lane as we take one final look back at the events and issues of 2009. Read more »

A story of scalping and how some Indians learned to treat survivors has proven to be centuries ahead of scientists and discussions about new medical therapies. Perhaps we should heed the words of Ecclesiastes 1:9:
That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun. Read more »

Thirteen embryonic stem cell lines were approved Wednesday for federally-funded research with assurance from the director of the National Institutes for Health that research on them is ethical and does not violate principles on human dignity and sanctity of life. Read more »

Internationally recognized stem cell expert Dr. David Prentice spoke in Rapid City Wednesday about adult and embryonic stem cell research, and human cloning. A petition drive may soon be underway to remove South Dakota’s ban on embryonic stem cell research. Read more »

On Thursday, The Coalition for Cures Not Cloning, joined by Dr. Mick Vanden Bosch, current state legislator Manny Steele (R), former state legislator Mary Glenski (D), and other organizations, announced their opposition to an effort which, if approved, would allow cloning on the 2010 ballot.

Scientific American reports doctors in Cincinnati have replaced a boy’s missing cheekbones using stem cells from fat tissue from his own body. That puts the successful adult stem cell therapies somewhere between 70 and 80, while there has yet to be a single success from the human life-destroying embryonic stem cell research. Read more »

We recently learned that a group wants to “strengthen” South Dakota’s ban on human cloning, but we’re already starting to see through that smokescreen to realize it’s a deceptive effort to get around the state’s ban on embryonic stem cell research. This sleight-of-hand maneuver is also going on across the country. Read more »
