sciencedaily.com — A group of mice genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer's disease was injected with a human growth factor that stimulates blood stem cells in the marrow. The mice showed significant reversal in memory loss. If this works with humans, it could eliminate the need for neurosurgery to put stem cells directly in the brain.

This research would have been approved for federal funding under Bush. Stop the lies.

Your argument SOUNDS good at first, but your assertions are incomplete at best, disingenuous at worst. Clinton was the first to allow funding for adult stem cells, but did ban embryonic stem cell research. Bush KEPT the ban on embryonic research, and while he lifted the ban on a number of lines of adult stem cells, these lines were arguably useless for human research as they were all contaminated. Not only that, Bush pocket vetoed the Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act, which would have allowed federal funding for embryonic research. <a class="user" href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/dispatches/050413.html">http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/dispatches ...</a>

Title is very misleading. THIS IS NOT STEM CELL RESEARCH. This is hormone therapy. The hormone causes the stem cells that are ALREADY IN THE MICE to mobilize and reproduce. It doesn't involve taking stem cells from elsewhere and transplanting them. That's the whole point. Nobody who actually knows what this is is against it. Read the actual article and stop being so dumb.

Then Michael J. Fox can finally star in Back to the Future 4!
