Embryonic Stem Cell Research

I don't agree with the use of embryos for stem cell research - which, incidentally, has not proven to be effective at all. Embryonic stem cell research is also ethically questionable, making it a hot topic of debate.

I DO agree with the use of adult stem cells in research - the research has proven effective in the treatment of over 45 diseases/conditions.

However, my point is that I don't want to hear anyone saying that GW Bush, or the current administration, has placed a "ban" on stem cell research. Not only is there not a ban, but stem cell research is performed on both adult cells and embryonic cells and federal money funds both .

Here's proof that the federal government funds embryonic stem cell research:
