A pro-life advocate says the media virtually ignores the proven results of adult stem-cell research while touting the remote and, so far, unsuccessful practice of embryonic stem cell use.
There are many recent examples of exciting medical breakthroughs involving the use of adult stem cells, a practice that does not require the destruction of human embryos.
Pro-life and medical ethics advocates have urged funding and support for adult stem-cell research because it has been proven beneficial and because, unlike embryonic stem-cell research, it does not result in the termination of human life.
Brad Mattes, executive director of the Cincinnati-based Life Issues Institute, says the media, because of its left-leaning pro-abortion bias, is ignoring some incredible discoveries that have led to actual cures.
'One in particular,' he notes, 'is a 52-year-old woman who was cured from rheumatoid arthritis.
She had it in 28 of her joints; and doctors took stem cells from her sibling and had amazing results. Within a year she no longer needed any medication of any kind.' And Mattes says there are many more cases where adult stem cells have resulted in cures.
Still, he says the use of embryonic cells is pushed by those whose agenda is to legitimize the killing of unborn children, which includes embryos.
