Dear Editor: A common tactic of embryonic stem cell research opponents is to lie about the efficacy of adult stem cells. There are 9 cures for blood cancers and disorders from adult stem cells after 40 years of research, not 60, 70 or whatever a writer happens to pick. The claims for Parkinson's disease are simply false. Use some common sense. How many "cured" people do you know? Human embryonic stem cell lines were first isolated in 1998 and since 2001 research on them has been restricted by an administration and political climate hostile to science. It is impossible to know the results of research until it is done. Nobody knows what will work best for which disease or injury unless scientists are allowed to proceed without being handcuffed. Research is done to find answers to questions, not to substantiate what has already been decided to be true by a band of charlatans like David Prentice, James Dobson and George Bush. You simply cannot be seen as compassionate, pro-science and intelligent and at the same time oppose embryonic stem cell research.
