Coburn counters

Via Townhall:

Today, Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn introduced legislation that would promote non-destructive embryonic and/or pluripotent stem cell research.

Responding to Senator Frist and others who support embryo-destroying stem cell research the two time cancer survivor and accomplished doctor in his own right released the following statement:

“The Castle-DeGette bill that is being praised in the Senate is full of hype and false promises. Private research dollars are not following destructive embryonic research because that research, unlike adult stem cell research, has not produced any tangible results. Not since ‘cold fusion’ has a scientific story received so much attention without the science to support the claims,” Dr. Coburn said.
