Get a clue. Well, nevermind.

Maybe I need to be more explicit. Of course I was not suggesting that liberals don't care about people. However, on this issue, their motivation is political. Embryonic stem cells don't show all that much promise compared to other less controvercial research. They do, however, give liberals an excuse to bait christians into the dilema of whether to help with research or destroy embryos which they consider to be destroying life.
It was suggested earlier in this thread that embryonic stem cell research is in it's early stages and as a result has not yielded as many results. The truth is that all stem cell research is pretty new and Adult stem cells are winning the compeition.
Embryonic Stem cell lines exist and are grandfathered. They will continue to support research both new and ongoing. The issue is the creation of new embryos for harvesting stem cells.
