1. Dear God's people,
   
   It is not a mere accident about the success of the two scientists in discovering human health care on adult stem cell, called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell. I praise and thank God, that is, in fact a real blessing from our loving and merciful God. God granted such knowledge to scientists, James Thomson and Shinya Yamanaka to cure our illneses. I have no other reason to believe since I am a father of a successful adult stem cell for my daughter who survived a rigorous treatmemt of Leukemia cancer (AML) in 2004.
   
   In contrast, because many time embryonic proponents manipulates. Remember, Woo Suk Hwang of South Korea, 2005 failed report and admited in court his full responsibility of hoax stem cell report. Just read carefully and slowly every proponents' rhetorical redefination of cloning, how they mislead people.
   
   I would reiterate at this point to stop, for goodness sake, the now legally funding by taxpayers money about the failed and immoral Embryonic Stem Cell on the basis of the sad rationality of our dear President Barack Obama which according to him, "that science does not need to be at the service of the human person or subject to morality."
   
   I question it directly if this position is influence by an ideology? Is this what we American citizens want to use our taxpayer's money? "What President Obama s doing is forcing all American taxpayers to pay for this homicidal research. "He is forcing us who pay taxes to be complicit, in an involuntary yet real way, in this unethical enterprise. All of this is done so that 'science can trump ideology'."
   
   The real thanksgiving day celebrates today makes sense which is also holistic and real because of man's goodness response of God's blessings granted in the success of adult stem cell research, rather than on the immoral and ideology motivated Embryonic Stem Cell research. Reasonable preople understand that.

2. Very nice. But I'd be more interested in hearing what Dr. Francis Collins, head of our NIH and a member of the Pontifical Science Academy has to say, rather than read a press release by a clerical anti-abortion lobbyist.
   
   It puzzles me why Dr. Collins's opinion of the significance of these findings are not reported. Was he unwilling to comment or was he not asked?
