Insuring The People's Right To Life Through Science

The cites below are from an Agence France-Presse report titled “Scientists locate stem cell which may hold secrets of breast cancer”

Researchers in Australia say they have grown new breasts in mice after discovering the stem cell responsible for mammary tissue, a find which could pave the way for new treatments for breast cancer.

This sounds like a benefit from adult stem cells.

Scientists at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute in Melbourne said it was the first time that a complex organ -- other than skin -- had been grown from a single stem cell.

So if they can grow breast and other organs in humans with adult stem cells will their still be a demand for research using embryonic stem cells.

"What we really want to do it to try to understand breast cancer."

That is a noble goal and at no cost of human life unlike embryonic stem cell research,

Both researchers said it will take "another 10 or 20 years at least" to develop a drug that will counter breast cancer cells.

This sounds like a good place to spend money and the recently passed adult stem cell bill by our federal government does just that.

This is a right to life issue in many different ways and the Declaration of Independence states it is the duty of our government to insure the right to life of all of its people.
