British scientists have developed the world’s first stem cell therapy to cure the most common cause of blindness. Surgeons predict it will become a routine, one-hour procedure that will be generally available in six or seven years’ time. (TimesOnline)
That is amazing news! A miracle, if you will, of modern science. A concrete validation of those that favor stem cell research as a way to cure disease, save lives and improve quality of life for living human beings. Praise God! I hope that the thousands affected by the blind will be cured and thank those that fought so tirelessly for the advancement of science over the politicization of research.
For all of those that oppose the use of stem cells in research, using government money to fund anything to do with stem cell research I hope you get the stinging reality that you’ve just been made into a fool. Congratulations. Science always wins.
Opponents of stem cell research never said that it wouldn’t come up with miracle breakthroughs. However, it comes at the cost of what many consider to be human lives, the aborted fetuses who provide the most scientifically useful stem cells. Waving the results in our face is a terrible kind of ‘the ends justify the means’ reasoning. If the cost of curing cancer was the murder of 1,000 people, I’m sure there would be those who choose to make that sacrifice, but that doesn’t make it morally right. We’re on a scary edge of science where the line between moral and immoral becomes more blurred by the day. I’m happy that some people will be able to regain there sight out of this unfortunate situation, but it appears that some people are still blind to what pro-lifers really believe.
