After more than a decade of research on embryonic stem cells, scientists are quietly moving on to greener pastures.
In 2004, spurred on by the pipe dream of cures obtained by killing human embryos, California voters allotted 3 billion dollars for embryonic stem cell research. Not one, single person has ever been cured by killing embryos.
Never mind that California carries some of the worst debt and can’t even afford to fund its schools and colleges. And it all turned out to be a waste, as scientists quietly abandon embryonic stem cell research for technologies on adult stem cells that actually work and cure people.

“Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practice black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and will save your soul, if—and mark well what I say—if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins.”
