New Biotech Engineer, Nancy Pelosi

Nancy has gone off the deep end, with a diatribe on embryonic stem cells, no less. Her diatribe, as usual, ignores the facts. The facts are, that embryonic stem cell research, has never cured any disease, while adult stem cell research has been involved in 71 known cures.  

Now comes Nancy's hype on why embryonic stem cell research is the same thing as universal and affordable healthcare. Nancy says, "The justification, I think, is clear, in terms of the progress that has been made. The need is urgent, in terms of what it translates to in the family life of all Americans." "And at a time when we are going forward with affordable, accessible, quality healthcare for all Americans, the investment in basic bio-medical research is really essential - a fundamental principle of that universal access to quality healthcare. It will take us to a place where we will have personalized, customized care ... it will address disparities in healthcare that exist, and we need science, science, science, science, science, in order to do that.  

I'm glad Nancy's standing her ground. I think it's shaking underneath. She's from San Francisco. Maybe it's a tremor. It certainly isn't the truth. Cord blood, and adult stem cells, as we said previously, have produced, what Nancy is dreaming embryos will. Too bad Nancy is clueless on a very important issue.
