She is not a good Catholic because of her diabolical support of Proposal 2. Proposal 2 was a constitutional amendment to allow EMBRYONIC stem cell research, overturning a 1978 Michigan law that criminalizes the use of human embryos for research.Granholm labeled herself as being "pro-cure" even though all of the advancements in stem cell research have been produced through non lethal and fully legal ADULT stem cell research.
Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESC) requires the creation and destruction of a human being for the purpose of harvesting pluripotent stem cells. Adult Stem Cell Research (ASC) does not require the killing of a human being. ASCs can bee obtained from any adult tissue.
Potential vs. Success
People like Granholm trumpet the "potential" cures that could come from harvesting human beings for ESCs. To date there have been zero treatments produced. Adult Stem Cell research on the other hand has produced over 70 treatments. And thanks to the hard work of Japanese physician Shinya Yamanaka , Adult Skin Stem Cells can now be manipulated into being pluripotent. There is no reason why anyone should be pushing for ESC research anymore. Firstly because it involves the killing of human beings and secondly because due to the success of ASC research, ESC research is obsolete.
The Catholic Church is against Science?
SYDNEY, July 26, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney announced yesterday a grant of $100,000 to support and foster research on the therapeutic potential of adult stem cells. This is the second grant made available by the Archdiocese of Sydney to further research into adult stem cells.
Cardinal Pell commented on the grants saying "The breakthroughs in adult stem cell research are exciting and impressive. The achievements to date in this area far surpass anything that has been attained in the area of embryonic stem cell research. The Catholic Church always supports good science working from a good ethical foundation, and the Archdiocese of Sydney is delighted to be able to collaborate with researchers making inroads in this vitally important area."
It is the vast number of statements like these, coming out of the mouths of authentic Catholic leaders, that reveal the Roman Catholic Church to be one of the greatest advocates for the advancement science in our time.
Leaching and Emotional Games
During the 2008 election season, the ESC movement produced emotional and misleading commercials for television saying that "stem cell research" (not specifying EMBRYONIC stem cell research) is being prevented by Michigan law from finding cures for people who are suffering. This is appalling because Adult Stem Cell Research (not Embryonic Research) has produced treatments for all of the diseases listed in the brainwashing videos. Michigan law was protecting against destructive scientific testing on humans. But since money always wins out over humanity, the big money institutes like The University of Michigan Health Care System and The Karmanos Institute have the biggest voice over the airwaves. The problem with what they are doing is that by giving money to ESC research, they only take away from resources that fully legal and morally permissible ASC researchers could use to achieve a total success over the diseases. Shame on these scientists who are knowingly misleading people, raising money, and forcing a deficient science on us. I want ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH because it is the one producing cures. I want ADULT STEM CELL RESEARCH because it is ethical, we don't have to kill anyone in order to achieve results.
I've spoken to many people since proposal 2 passed and it is outrageous to hear them, unknowingly, mix ESC and ASC together. This is because of people like Granholm who could care less about silly catholic issues like honesty. Blurring the lines and making it difficult for the common person to understand the facts, are the tactics that Jennifer Granholm uses in order to "lead" Michigan. 2008 made it clear that Granholm and other proponents of ESC research intended to leach off of the successes of ADULT stem cell research in order to push for scientific testing that only Dr. Mengele would be proud of. That is why Granholm is a reprehensible Catholic and a poor governor of Michigan.
Debate On Youtube!
Copy and paste these packaged comments into your debates on youtube!
One of the goals I would like to achieve with this blog is to promote a robust debate in public forums like youtube. Youtube limits comments to 500 characters per comment so I am producing what I call "pre-packaged" comments that are 500 characters or less. Please debate on youtube. It will give you a greater exposure to the types of arguments that are out there and it will help you to better articulate truthful answers to those arguments. Remember 1 Peter 3:15 "Be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have"
-The work of Dr. Shimnya Yamanaka on Adult Stem Cells has rendered Embryonic Stem Cell Research to be obsolete. Besides, testing of this nature on humans is ethically wrong no matter what stage of development the human being is in. Why do you people push obsolete and ethically deplorable practices?
-Why is the ESC movement leaching off of the successes of Adult Stem Cell Research?
It is because you people are knowingly trying to mislead the general public. ASC research has produced over 70 treatments and is not restricted by any laws because it is ethically permissible science.
I don't know what your motives are but they are most certainly not for the good of human beings.
