After Five Years, Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR) Is A Failure

Hate to say, I toldya so! There have been more Adult Stem Cells that were proven to be successful with promise to heal. There isn't one single cure for Embryonic Stem Cells. Not one. Nada. Nil. Zilch. Zippo. CA voted for ESCR (Prop 71). You got what you voted for...F A I L U R E *sigh*

Five years after a budget-busting $3 billion was allocated to embryonic stem cell research, there have been no cures, no therapies and little progress. So supporters are embracing research they once opposed.

...Supporters of the California Stem Cell Research and Cures Initiative, passed in 2004, held out hopes of imminent medical miracles that were being held up only by President Bush's policy of not allowing federal funding of embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) beyond existing stem cell lines and which involved the destruction of embryos created for that purpose.

Five years later, ESCR has failed to deliver and backers of Prop 71 are admitting failure. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine, the state agency created to, as some have put it, restore science to its rightful place, is
diverting funds from ESCR to research that has produced actual therapies and treatments: adult stem cell research. It not only has treated real people with real results; it also does not come with the moral baggage ESCR does.

Stem cells are the life givers of human body and their use in the right way will lead to many new discoveries in medical sciences. The research should go on for the betterment of the world community as prevention and cure of many diseases lie in stem cell treatments.

I agree. The success proves to lie in Adult Stem Cells. Research should be focused on that.
