Misrepresentation of Embryonic Stem Cell Research continues

Actor Fox Urges Congress on Stem Cell Bill
Within it, is this statment:
Stem cell research on human embryos holds the most promise in the search for cures for a list of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, diabetes and some types of cancer.
That is not true. From the fact that they don’t expound upon a statement so far-reaching tells me that they only wish it were true, instead of having the evidence for it. Note how they tempt us by listing what diseases this could cure - not just treat. Who is not in favor of finding a cure for those? And if embryonic stem cell research is morally wrong, would it then suddenly be ok if it was found to treat or cure these diseases?
We’ve been following the trend of misrepresenting embryonic stell cell research for some time, check out the archives for more…
