Fruitlessly seeking for confirmation that abortion could possibly have a redeeming quality, the pro-choice crowd has hitched their wagon to embryonic stem cell research. According to this recent article at Creation-Evolution-Headlines (CEH), it looks like the wagon is stuck in a ditch: Follow the Stem Cell Money.
 
For the last several years, almost exclusively, the most promising stem cell research has resulted from the study of adult stem cells. And the money is now following the science. As CEH puts it;

…ten years of hype about embryonic stem cells has not brought in the funds from investors. The smart money seems to be on adult stem cells.

 
Listed in the article are the “winners” (adult) and “losers” (embryonic) in the stem cell funding competition. Although CEH cautions:

Just because a clinical trial or project has a lot of money does not make it right. (Recall the Nazi’s “Angel of Death,” Joseph Mengele.)

Let us hope that the parade of adult stem cell successes will continue to deflate interest in cutting up human embryos.

 
And pray.
