Obama Chooses Destruction of Life Ideology Over Science

Today, President Obama will sign an expected executive order to overturn former President Bush’s policy to prohibit the use of federal tax dollars to destroy living human embryos.

At a time when science is rapidly moving in the direction of ethical alternatives to embryonic stem cell research,  President Obama is turning back the clock to use the nation’s monies to fund destruction of living human embryos.  This move proves what was stated repeatedly prior to his election, that Obama’s hard-core ideology will be used to promote and advance the destruction of human life in virtually any circumstance that involves unborn babies.  There is not a single one that his ideology will protect.

In late 2007, scientists in Wisconsin and Japan coaxed ordinary human skin cells into becoming cells with the same potential qualities as embryonic stem cells.  This discovery has been called the Holy Grail because iPS cells, as they are called, advance science without destroying life.  Further, iPS cells are more practical to obtain and will result in patient-specific cells which will not be rejected by the recipient.  Because embryonic stem cells have the DNA of another person, they would be rejected in the same manner that transplanted organs are rejected without lifelong immunosuppressive drugs.

Not only are iPS cells the future of stem cell science, advances are revealed virtually every day using ethical adult stem cells.  Adult stem cells  are benefiting real patients with real diseases, yet Obama and his allies want to pour money into what will eventually become useless science in terms of ethics and the benefit of real patients.

So, in Obama’s world, ideology trumps everything — including science.

1. Well…all things considered, this President needs
   a re-education! So does everyone else who needs to know more! LifeNews.com has relayed that some, like McCain, are going to try and fight this. I guess we back the fighters! It would be wonderful if this “scam” gets uncovered soon, since obviously our President has been coaxed right into backing these “methods of madness”. I wouldn’t doubt that HIS life {and his job} is threatened by his own party if he doesn’t promote this. So, again, the bottom line - how can we most effectively wise up the Democratic Party - which we’ve already tried to wise up in millions of ways… I guess this is one for the lawyers. Maybe we should all simply focus on his lack of a Birth Certificate & keep fighting that base fact type of stuff, and win that one first! Obviously this stuff is too elementary - it’s embarrassing that it has to come to this, since these are supposed to be “learned” people who we’re hiring for what - essentially to get us killed. Well, Rush Limbeau {spelling?} will certainly have some direct comments, am sure. But, with a Socialistic ajenda at hand, this is really no surprise. Ask any Communist what they should’ve done sooner - I’m not really sure, but I have a feeling they know now! I think we must simply go ahead and get funding going for skin cells and pray that it starts to beat the stem cell stuff.
   I’m sure McCain would back that. I think that’s the only way we could beat the stupidity, here. If it starts to be proven that the skin cells are superior and people see better results, obviously people will migrate towards what works better - that’s just how people do things. Our lawyers have to fight it - and they’d know how, but, they could also fight for us to keep the skin cell stuff alive and develop that, and it may be surprising where the funding would come from! Thanks!

2. Your comments hit the radio waves around the country! Let’s hope this decision will place the 2007 breakthrough with IPS cells onto the national stage and into the spotlight as the ethical alternative for those with a passion for this avenue of research.
