Stem Cells and the Kyoto Treaty

Bad Science is just that. Bad.

As you know, there is much hoopla about the marvelous discovery of the ability to create embryonic stem cells from skin cells.

There are many good things related to all this.

But, why did this research continue? Because of the battle over using stem cells from human embryos. A battle well worth fighting and now vindicated by this controversy driven research.

What if the cultural conservatives and George Bush had just given in on Embryonic Stem Cell research without a fight. Would we today have this breakthru? I think not.

The battle is over. Humanity and righteousness won. I had said in the past that the whole stem cell debate was about abortion and money. If you could show that sacrificing innocent human life was a noble thing to do, soon abortion would become a sacrament.

Now the fight is won.

It's like the fight over energy and the related fight over global warming. Instead of some of the dumb things we do like pollute our skyline with windmills and pillage farmland for foolish ethanol production because of the belief we are somehow sacrificing ourselves to the eco-god by driving a Prius we might look to research and true science to find a breakthru.

I happen to believe it's coming. I have seen some very interesting things out of Manitoba using genetically modified E-Coli to do cellulosic conversions generating a better liquid fuel called Butanol.

So, hang on, hang up your false religions, and fasten your seat belts. It's a great ride a-coming.
