Lets All Work Together, Ehh?

Scientist believe that cancer depends on a small group of stem cell to propagate their existance and continue their spread to the rest of the body. Leukaemia is no exception. The isolation and destruction of Leukaemia stem cells is likely to be the most effective way to cure the disease. However, as you can imagine, this is rather dificult to do if stem cell research is banned.
Every tissue, vessel and cell in your body begins as an embryonic stem cell. After you are born, your body maintains hematopoietic stemcells that mature into specific tissues. These cells, here after refured to as HCS, are the olny cells that allow regeneration. It is important to remember that HCS are very diffrent from embryonic stem cells, as HCS are found in your body well after birth.
The argument that stem cell research is murder is complete rubbish. Most research is preformed with HCS rather than embryonic stem cells.
I think it is important for the people who argue against stem cell research to do some reseach of their own. Perhaps if they were more informed, they'd stop impeeding the progress made regarding stem cells and cancer patients. We could be saving lives rather than wasting time.
