Bush’s Stem Cell Ban Overturned

At last, embryonic stem cell research will now get federal funding thanks to President Obama’s reversal of Bush’s ridiculous ban. This has put embryonic stem cell research back 5 years – and we are talking here about cures for various cancers and heart disease. Bush has definitely cost lives, many lives.

The correct course was, if he was concerned about stem cell ethics, to permit federal funding, but set parameters. That is what is going to happen now – five years later. Basically, Bush gave in to the Christian lobby. Even now, the Pope opposes Obama’s decision.

Anyway, the research can now proceed, accelerated by the US’s involvement.

UK Stem Cell Lead

The UK are currently at the forefront of stem cell research but this won’t last long with America in the game.

We will see fantastic health treatment gains – for cancer, heart disease, and perhaps Alzheimer’s – in 10-20 years thanks to the advances made possible by embryonic stem cell research. Already a US firm has started searching for human candidates for the first trial of stem cell therapy for those paralysed by severe spinal injury – made possible by embryonic stem cell research.

Good News for Organic Veg & Fruit

Organic health food has some bad news recently when Wholefood Market in Kensington, London posting a huge loss. Now we have a good-news story about organic food – this time from the a shop serving the opposite end of the income spectrum.

Low-price supermarket Asda – owned by USA’s Walmart – reports that organic veg and fruit sales are up 8% on last year.

A spokesman at Asda said: “We don’t believe that in tough economic times people abandon their beliefs and principles.” (Aah – sweet!)

Anyway, organic sales are up – so that’s good.

Free Range Egg Sales Up Too

Asda are also seeing free range egg sales grow at the expense of ordinary eggs. That’s good too, as the level of beneficial omega 3 fat in free range eggs is higher.
