“The sooner we stop wasting
precious resources on embryonic stem cell research the sooner we will have stem cell cures
for the people who really matter in all of this - the patients.” Dr. Peter Hollands, the Chief Science Officer of the UK Blood Bank and early
pioneer of embryonic stem-cell research -- read more
Two Types of Stem Cells are Not Equal
The subject of stem cell research can become confusing.
To reduce this confusion, clarity is needed between two types of stem cell research.
Stem cell research that uses adult stem cells, and stem cells
found in umbilical cord blood, is completely ethical and has already led to successful,
experimental treatments on human subjects. These initial successes have provided
benefits to patients for a variety of heart problems, spinal cord injuries, lupus,
leukemia, diabetes, stroke, and Parkinson's disease, among others.
On the other hand, embryonic stem cell research requires the
killing of embryonic human beings to obtain their stem cells. Additionally,
proponents of embryonic stem cells also favor human cloning as the envisioned means to
obtain compatible stem cells for individual patients once some type of treatments can be
achieved. Currrently, no successful treatments using embryonic stem cells have been
attempted on human subjects. Researchers admit that they are many years away
from experimental treatments on human subjects.
Now an Ethical
Alternative to Embryonic Stem Cells has been discovered.
These stem cells are obtained through a process to make adult stem cells revert to
their embryonic form. The resulting cells are called Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
(iPS cells). These stem cells have virtually the same characteristics as embryonic
stem cells, but no embryos are killed to obtain them. A recent advance in the process has led some
to conclude that embryonic stem cells are
effectively obsolete.
Private investment sources have recognized the potential exists
with adult and cord blood stem cells so funds for experimentation that kills embryonic
humans and attempts human cloning have dried up. No wonder the supporters of such
research continue to push so hard for government funding of their research. On March
9, 2009 President Obama rescinded
the Bush executive order that limited Federal funding for embryonic stem cell
research. This action has been criticized from many sources,
including IRLC's press
release.
Defenders of human life are not opposed to ethical stem cell
research using adult stem cells and stem cells from umbilical cord blood, but they are
strongly opposed to killing human embryos and human cloning as means to provide stem cells
for medical treatments.
