A recent article reports:

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.

My prediction… This will in no way slow down the effort by politicians and scientists to push forward with destructive embryonic stem cell research (ESCR). Why? Because, as a matter of principle, they want to establish the right to destroy life before birth. We’ve already seen this with the promising research with adult stem cells.
