Stem Cell Researchers Don't Want Your Babies! I'm So Seriously!

Sad that this has to be done but the International Society for Stem Cell Research is devoting a lot of effort (if not money) to educating the public on what stem cell research is and what it isn't. All this to combat the disinformation disseminated by the religious right including those in Congress. This article points out that House Majority leader Tom Delay described "embryonic stem-cell research [as] the 'dismemberment of living, distinct human beings.'"

Such statements are like fingernails on a chalkboard to stem-cell researchers like Leonard Zon, president of the International Society for Stem Cell Research, which is trying to get the message across that embryos are a microscopic mass of several hundred cells, and no body parts to dismember.
