National Review\u2019s Wesley Smith <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/436095\/fetal-stem-cell-company-goes-defunct\">writes<\/a> that StemCells Inc., a company that set out to use neural stem cells from aborted babies to treat paralysis, is shutting down.<\/p>\n<p>Per <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-stemcells-study-idUSKCN0YM1I2\">Reuters<\/a>, StemCells Inc. \u201csaid it would wind down operations after the company terminated a mid-stage trial testing its therapy in spinal cord injury,\u201d with one analyst attributing the move to \u201ca combination of the tough market environment and long clinical path ahead drove a financial\/clinical failure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Smith observes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Whenever a stem cell company\u2013particularly one dealing with controversial tissues such as embyronic and fetal\u2013announces CURES! CURES! CURES the media goes into full hype mode\u2013unless it is an adult stem cell company in which bona fide successes are often ignored.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Then, when the controversial trial crashes and burns, the story is reported mildly as a business story of falling stock [\u2026] Notice the story omits the part about using fetal cells, instead reporting gobbledygook, \u201cdeveloped from tissues.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Indeed. More comprehensive coverage would have included, for instance, Dr. David Prentice\u2019s <a href=\"\/news\/scientist-fetal-tissue-research-is-an-antiquated-dying-science\/\">testimony before the Colorado Republican Study Committee last November<\/a>, detailing fetal tissue research as an \u201cantiquated, dying science\u201d that has long passed \u201cits golden age in the 50s and 60s,\u201d and that (similarly to embryonic stem cells), fetal tissue treatment has often backfired in the growth of pretty nasty tumors, and is increasingly being replaced with treatments using adult stem cells.<\/p>\n<p>That hasn\u2019t stopped pro-aborts from <a href=\"\/news\/dont-let-planned-parenthood-derail-the-conversation-about-trafficked-fetal-body-parts\/\">scare-mongering that sick people will die<\/a> if we stop letting Planned Parenthood <a href=\"\/news\/a-guide-to-how-planned-parenthood-is-breaking-the-law\/\">break multiple laws to hack up children and sell their parts<\/a>\u2026 but similar results largely have gotten them to downplay their similar claims about stem cells.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/liveaction.org\/petition\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-68636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg\" alt=\"DefundAd-400b\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once upon a time, George W.

Not only did the evidence dry up, but with embryonic stem cells becoming less useful and adult stem cells becoming more useful, the incentives to support it dried up as well.<\/p>\n<p>In April, we <a href=\"\/news\/study-adult-stem-cells-can-cut-heart-failure-deaths-in-half\/\">covered<\/a> a new report that adult stem cells showed great promise in cutting heart failure deaths in half, and potentially mitigating shortages of donor organs. That was just the latest in a <a href=\"\/news\/embryonic-stem-cell-research-setting-the-record-straight\/\">long line of positive results<\/a> of sticking to ethically-obtained stem cells.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, <a href=\"http:\/\/health.usnews.com\/health-news\/blogs\/heart-to-heart\/2009\/03\/04\/why-embryonic-stem-cells-are-obsolete\">back in 2009<\/a>, the late National Institute of Health director Dr. Bernadine Healy declared embryonic stem cells \u201cobsolete,\u201d noting that \u201cscientists have learned to coax\u201d <em>adult<\/em> stem cells \u201cto mature into many cell types, like brain and heart cells, in the laboratory,\u201d that \u201cmost of the stem cell triumphs that the public hears about involve the infusion of adult stem cells,\u201d and that DNA from adult skin can be reprogrammed into functional equivalents of embryonic stem cells (\u201ceclips[ing] the value of\u201d ESCs thanks to \u201csignificantly lower cost, ease of production, and genetic identity with the patient\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Embryonic stem cell pioneer James Thomson <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2010\/OPINION\/09\/16\/bowman.stem.cell.research\/\">has also admitted<\/a> that adult stem cells in which pluripotency (the ability to become other cell types) has been induced \u201cdo all the things embryonic stem cells do,\u201d and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lozierinstitute.org\/the-ethical-stems-of-good-science\/\">private investment<\/a> in stem cell research is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lozierinstitute.org\/gestational-limits-on-abortion-in-the-united-states-compared-to-international-norms-2\/\">moving away from<\/a> dead-end, embryo-destructive methods. People tend to be more discerning about what works when it\u2019s their own money on the line.<\/p>\n<p>Right now, the abortion lobby has too much invested to give up on fetal research in the same way\u2014it needs people to think the research is valuable in order to make their activities seem more humane and therefore preserve their taxpayer funding\u2014but the fact that the same people were proven wrong about unethical experimentation using <a href=\"\/news\/the-science-of-abortion-when-does-life-begin\/\">even younger humans<\/a> shows pro-lifers the way to winning this one: showing the public that these babies are being sacrificed for nothing will get them to start questioning the legitimacy of sacrificing them at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The media drumbeat of hysterical pro-abortion claims that pro-lifers are ruining women\u2019s lives is as loud as ever, but amid the commotion it\u2019s easy to forget that one talking point has definitely died down over the past couple years: pro-lifers supposedly putting embryos ahead of sick people by opposing their use in stem-cell research.
