In December, the National Institutes of Health released the first 13 lines of cells
under Obama’s new policy to destroy life in the name of embryonic stem cell
(ESC) “research.” “This is the first down payment,” said NIH Director Francis
S. Collins, drawing a perfect picture of the commodification of life under this
administration. Obama’s decision puts the government in a business, which
is not only unethical but also medically unnecessary. Researchers announced
recently that they successfully used adult stem cells to treat lung disease in
mice, and scientists produced evidence that they had used patients’ own cells
to repair heart damage caused by heart attacks. President Obama would like us
to believe that, through his policy, the U.S. is on the cutting-edge of science. In
reality, the best technology is moving in the opposite direction of ESC research.
