"The Audacity of Hype: Wasting Taxpayer Lives and Wasting Taxpayer Dollars"
The Obama administration has promised to spend more money on embryonic stem cell research and promote more human embryo destruction, and the FDA has now approved the first experiments using embryonic stem cells in patients. The new President has stated that he wants to promote science, but he must have meant political science. The focus on embryonic stem cells emphasizes unethical and poor science, least likely to help patients, and wastes both human lives and dollars. If we are concerned about the patients first, adult stem cells are already saving lives and hold the real promise for treatments and impacting health care. Come hear the real facts on the science and the difference between hype and hope.

Who: Dr. David Prentice, Senior Fellow for Life Sciences, Center for Human Life and Bioethics at Family Research Council.
