I can’t wait to see what Bush does now. Will he allow this new research or prove that he is against science by vetoing a new measure.

Time to show your true colors, Mr. W.

cheek cells from a middle-aged woman,

Butt cheek or face cheek, I wonder?

Cuz, I got some of the former I’d like to donate to research.

Also, I think I just heard a cry of “Foreskins are sacred!” rumbling in the distance.

Also, adult foreskins don't work in stem cell research, so King Saul has no excuse for his pervrted foreskin fettish. //Also, I think I just heard a cry of “Foreskins are sacred!” rumbling in the distance.//

Not even close.

Embryonic stem cells are not going to be this easily replaced by differentiated cells induced to have some characteristics of pluripotent stem cells.

So I wonder in the meantime, what is happening to all those babys (embryonic cells) that are not being used. Obviously, still being thrown in the garbage. This will forever make me sick that the fundies have caused millions to suffer and die for a BS cause. hmmmm.
