Through stem cell miracles can be accomplished, including new healthy life for a child.

So now technology can go around it? At worse Biden is not up to date with scientific accomplishments right now.

Plheeeeeze.

I can prove that the words Biden spoke were meant as an insult, by proving that he knows nothing about what stem cell research is for.

Stem cells, directed to differentiate into specific cell types, offer the possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat diseases including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, spinal cord injury, stroke, burns, heart disease, diabetes, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

So now we know that Stem cell research cannot be used to cure birth defects. We also know now that Biden must not have had any clue as to what Stem Cell research was for when he made his statement - and if that's true, then why did he make the statement?

Because he made it in the heat of emotion as a derrogatory comment.

You can make all the excuses in the world for the man, but there's no other logical explanation for why he would have said it unless he meant it to be hateful.
