“this bill, while well- intentioned, raises obfuscation and disingenuousness to an art form. It says nothing that truly supports embryonic stem cell research. It promotes technology which does not exist in a form which will help cure human disease. Only the central cell mass of the blastocyst, in this case those which would be used in in vitro fertilization but instead will be tossed in the trash, are pluripotent. {time} 1800 While I strongly support adult and umbilical cord stem cell research, and there are clinical uses for both now, and they should be supported and research continued. The true stem cell bill is H.R. 810, the Castle-DeGette bill. It is the bill endorsed by the legitimate scientific community, and the bill which holds the most promise for cures for diseases which today have no cure. It is the bill which is truly pro-life.”
