I’m running a little behind on this news. It turns out the latest and greatest stem cell research discovery – turning ordinary skin cells into embryonic like cells – has been used to successfully treat mice with sickle cell anemia.

ALSO, bone marrow is being used in spinal cord therapy.

Do we need more proof…I mean really…that it is not necessary to destroy human life to advance medical science?

Unfortunately Mitt Romney has said that he supports the use of so-called “surplus” IVF embryos for research as long as the “parents” consent to their destruction. Hmm…that sounds like a “pro-choice” position to me. He does claim to not support funding this destruction of human life, however. At least we can be thankful for that…I suppose.
