Coleus, you're at it again - ADULT STEM CELLS ARE NOT TREATING PARKINSON'S DISEASE. Why must you keep lying about this? Isn't your faith-based case against ESCs strong enough to permit honesty? Your opinions get in the way of science. Ray - 11 year Parkinson's disease prisoner "Despite celebrity endorsements and controversy surrounding embryonic stem cell research, the best promise for medicine lies with adult stem cells, says Verne D. Hulce, executive director of the Field Neurosciences Institute in Saginaw Township. Politics too often trumps science, Hulce said this week in a talk to members of the Saginaw Club. Hulce leads and develops research at the institute using stem cells to treat traumatic brain injury and Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. "Most people, including politicians and lawyers, know nothing about stem cells but all have an opinion, which can get in the way of science," he said. President George W. Bush placed funding limits on embryonic stem cell research in 2001. A stem cell is a primitive, unspecialized cell that has the capacity to develop a highly specialized function when nurtured in a suitable environment.
