About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,

First off, have you ever been to a snake oil funeral? They are a blast.
Second off, the purpose of the scientific research is to determine definitively what we can and can't do with them [embryonic stem cells]. I would like to see this scientific research you are talking about which has proven emphirically that no matter what we do with the embryonic stem cells that they will cause cancer.
Third off, the point of the commercial was to highlight the wasteful nature brought about by the current regulations on fertility clinics. Scientists want to play with the embryos either through some extreme form of paedophilia or because they believe that some research they do will help more people than embryos they destroy. I'll agree with you that the possibility of embryonic stem cell research yeilding useful results is slim. Almost as slim as skin cancer being cured by me urinating on somebody. But the possibility still exists, and that is what they are banking on. Its also why there has been a rash of cancer patients complaining about being urinating on in my area.
Anyway, nice chatting with you, have a nice day.
