What is your opinion on stem cell research Amos?

I mean except as a political bludgeon for you to use?

Do embroyonic stem cells do anything that adult stem cells won't do?

Are there any restrictions on embroyonic stem cell research anywhere in the world?

Have any medical treatments been obtained from embroyonic stem cell research?

Have any medical treatments been obtained from adult stem cell research?

Is there any advantage to using embroyonic stem cells when adult stem cells are genetically identical and not rejected by the host.

So which line of research is most likely to produce results and why should the government piss away my money on the less productive line of research?

Embryonic Stem Cell treatments: NONE

The only success in embryonic stem cell research turned out to be a fraud.

Go go ahead your PHDship and tell us why Embryonic Stem Cell research is an absolute must rather than a cruel hoax and a political tool.
