Welcome to Texans for Obama

Stem cells = "pro-life"?

The "bloggers for life" will host a gathering on Jan. 22.  Duncan Hunter, Sam Brownback and other extremists will attend.

Will these life-loving Republicans come together to support live-saving stem cell research?  Don't hold your breath.

Scientists find stem cell source in amniotic fluid

From the Associated Press:

Scientists reported Sunday they had found a plentiful source of stem cells in the fluid that cushions babies in the womb.

The announcement may make it easier to sidestep the controversy over destroying embryos for research.

Researchers at Wake Forest University and Harvard University reported the stem cells they drew from amniotic fluid donated by pregnant women hold much the same promise as embryonic stem cells.

They reported they were able to extract the stem cells without harm to mother or fetus and turn their discovery into several different tissue cell types, including brain, liver and bone.
