Cynical Nation

There's lots of confusion over at Democratic Underground regarding adult stem cells vs. embryonic stem cells and Bush's policy regarding both. Oh well, I give them credit for not thinking the "stems" in question have something to do with the residue at the bottom of a nickel bag.

(Again, just for the record, I disagree with Bush on ESC research. Nonetheless, there is an incredible amount of disinformation out there regarding current policy, and this DU thread is but one example.)

Anyway, the real story here, lest it be lost, is that adult stem cell research has led to a possible breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes. I think that's something we can all celebrate.
