In this episode of Life Matters Commissioner Johnston examines the issue of embryonic stem-cell research and California’s upcoming ballot measure Proposition 14. The California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) was established in 2004 with the help of more than $6 billion (after interest) by California taxpayers through then Ballot Proposition 71.
CIRM has now run out of money. It has spent billions of dollars. Though it had promised miraculous cured through the use of embryonic stem-cell research, each and every experiment was a failure. But they weren’t just failures in the sense of ‘not successful.’ These ethically-questionable medical experiments created tumors, growths and other serious medical problems. In this episode, Brian examines the ethical aspect in addition to the medical, scientifically demonstrated problems of embryonic stem-cell research.
Brian goes into depth regarding the facts of the new Proposition 14 which is seeking 5.5 billion dollars more.
