>Cow-human hybrid ban "would cost patient lives."
>The pushing of limits never stops. First, as far as we know, no one’s been able to make an embryo by injecting the nucleus of a human into the emptied cell of a cow oocyte. If they have, they aren’t publishing the results and there’s definitely no reports about stem cells from the results. However, … Continue reading
>Visitor Number 10,000 could help
>It took over a year, and some of those visits are my own viewing of my posts, but sometime this weekend I should have my 10,000th visit to LifeEthics and 15,000th page view. I’m hoping that one of my visitors can help me. Imagine all of the bloggers who have more audience than I do. … Continue reading
>Evil (UK) restrictions (no hybrids), again
>The sky is falling, once again, because of those evil pro-life people who want to kill patients because oppose placing human DNA in cow eggs: Scientists say disease research at risk after ‘knee-jerk’ reaction to embryo proposalsLYNDSAY MOSS HEALTH CORRESPONDENT (lmoss@scotsman.com) VITAL research into devastating diseases could be put in jeopardy because of government opposition … Continue reading
>New Poll on Embryonic Stem Cell Research
>Before I comment on the poll, please take another look at the statement that I published earlier by Maureen Condic, Ph.D.: “. . . there is no compelling scientific argument for the public support of research on human embryos.” . . . Immune rejection, tumor formation, and embryonic development have proved themselves to be profoundly … Continue reading
>Maureen Condic in First Things on Embryonic Stem Cell Research
> “. . . there is no compelling scientific argument for the public support of research on human embryos.” Memorize this sentence before you call your Congressman and Senators about next week’s vote on the DeGette-Castle Bill (they’re also calling it the “Stem Cell Research Enhancement Bill,”). You can tell them that your source is … Continue reading
>One more thing on errors
>That letter mentioned above actually noted nine, not seven, treatments. Here’s the opening paragraphs from the letter (Sorry, subscription only) (Note the uses of “treat,” “cure” and “phases”), Originally published in Science Express on 13 July 2006Science 28 July 2006:Vol. 313. no. 5786, p. 439DOI: 10.1126/science.1129987 LettersAdult Stem Cell Treatments for Diseases?Opponents of research with … Continue reading
>Human Reproduction: Definition of Human Embryo

Human Reproduction, a peer-reviewed, high impact journal of research and opinion concerning “the scientific and medical aspects of reproductive physiology and pathology, endocrinology, andrology, gonad function, gametogenesis, fertilization, embryo development, implantation, pregnancy, genetics, genetic diagnosis, oncology, infectious … Continue reading
>Same story, new spin
>It’s (she’s) an embryo. What part of “I’m all for stem cell research, but don’t kill a human embryo” don’t they get? Harvard’s George Q. Daley is in the news again. This time his research group has produced parthenogenetic mouse embryos, that were used to harvest stem cells. The original article has been published online … Continue reading
>Reports on kidney repair by (ethical) stem cells (and more!)
>You may not have read it in the New York Times, but there’s exciting news supporting the hope that ethical – non-embryonic – stem cells may be used to treat not only diabetes, but to repair kidney damage. The most significant article is from The Procedings of the National Academies of Science, which, although largely … Continue reading
>Fetal vs. umbilical cord neural stem cells
>The news about “Stem Cells, Inc.’s” phase I trials of fetal neural stem cells in the treatment of Batten disease reports improvement in the condition of the first patient. I’m a little shocked at how matter-of-fact the article treats the use of brain cells from aborted infants. Why is there not more questioning about the … Continue reading
