Is the new ability to be able to reprogram cells instead of using human embryo going to end the debate?

I sure hope so...it's amazing...and the possibility of rejection is almost nil, if the cells to be reprogrammed come from the adult who needs treatment!
Did you also see a few months ago that they used adult stem cells from a person to cure their diabetes? It wasn't heavily reported, but HUGE news for me.
Of course, from the major news media, they like to confuse the issue

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/vhPA3
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.

As long as there's still grant money available, the embryonic stem cell research scam will keep on going. Adult stem cell research which IS producing results will continue to be conducted by real doctors. The "research scientists" will continue to milk the grant cow for as long as possible before those controlling the purse strings catch on that they've been had. Embryonic stem cell research has produced no results whatsoever.

OOoo I'm glad someone brought this up. I'm betting Bush still doesn't fund it. You've been starred btw.
Harryd you have no idea what you're talking about. Research scientists are some of the most underpaid people there are. Most of the clinical trials now are conducted collaboratively by "real doctors" and research scientists as well. Please consider the salary of an entry level MBA (roughly 100k/year) before you make exaggerated claims that research scientists (entry level is 44k/year with a Ph.D.) are paid some imaginary huge sum of money.

Well, there are still some kinks to work out with the process described in that article, so no, it won't end the debate.
But it would be nice.

Why would that end it?
The embryos in question before were just being thrown away, but no one gave a damn about that. Hmmm, put them in the trash, or use them to save lives....and yet, Bush vetoed the bill.

No. The pro-abortion crowd will still advocate the experimentation with embryonic stem cells because it further cheapens life.
I wonder if the democrats will use M.J Fox this election cycle.

Apparently not, judging by the ignorant replies you've gotten from conservatives so far.

NO, for some reason liberals want to believe that the embryonic stem cells will produce a cure for EVERYTHING.

It will still be used to promote abortion.
