Is excitement declining for embryonic stem cell research? 22 January 2010|Michael Cook From the public's perspective, the sparkle appears to be carrying off embryonic stem cell research whilst the weeks extend on without magic cures. An article in the financial paper Investor's Business Daily talked lately of the "failure" of Proposition 71, the California referendum which sanctioned the development of a US$3 million stem cell research center. But, says the content, embryonic stem cells have didn't provide. "When financing was required, the expression 'embryonic stem cells' was used. When real improvement was discussed, the term 'embryonic' was dropped because [embryonic base cell research] never got from the lab." Actually the lurid pages of London's leading tabloid, the Daily Mail, are sceptical. A recently available feature centered on parents getting kiddies to China for questionable stem cell therapy. The paper tells its readers: "The truth is that people?s expectations about stem cells are unrealistically large, cautions the International Society for Stem Cell Research, a human anatomy of specialists. Certainly, the traditional view is that it'll be years, maybe even years, before stem cell therapy is safe and adequately recognized and efficient enough to make use of widely." Since 2001 other ideologies in america, the UNITED KINGDOM, Australia and Europe have now been discussing, frequently heatedly, the integrity of embryonic stem cell research. May be the air hissing from the mechanism? ~ Daily Mail, Jan 19; Investor's Business Daily, Jan 12 http://www.bioedge.org/index.php/bio..._article/8812/
