Dr. Oz on Oprah - stemcell debate

Wow! The more I look there is tons of pro-life stuff out there. Just today I found 8 stories that I think are worthy of informing you about. I won't post them all today so I don't bombard you with too much info today & nothing tomorrow. If I can help inform you of even a fraction of what is out there, then I'll be happy. I hope you will be too.

This actually happened a few weeks ago, but I never saw it on TV or the news. Dr. Oz a well respected doctor was on Oprah's talk show with Micheal J. Fox (a well known proponent of stem cell research). He announced that the stem cell debate is dead. More specifically that embryo stem cell is not the answer but that adult stem cell is. You can view the segment on YouTube

He explains how embryo stem cells have not yet decided what they will be, so when we have used them they end up turning into tumors. Adult stem cells already know what cell they will be & we can "re-program" them back to be helpful... well he explains it better than me.. check it out
