Abstract

"As a physician of 30 years experience I have been following the stem cell debate with interest. The facts I read in the scientific journals give a different picture to what has appeared in the general media. The public has been kept poorly informed by a carefully orchestrated campaign by the IVF embryo industry. The embryo researchers speak only of embryonic sources of stem cells. In fact embryonic stem cells have immune and chemical disadvantages, and are likely to be used only for drug research and toxicology studies. No doubt Big Biotech will make big money in those areas, but embryonic stem cells have achieved nothing to justify the hype about miracle cures. Nobel Prize winner Sir Gustav Nossal suggests that another 10 years study would be needed to make embryonic stem cell therapy both workable and safe."
