Quotes to Note

It's not the FUNDS that are Lacking for Embryonic Stem Cell Research.

It's the Results.

Successful human trials/treatments using Embryonic Stem Cells: 0
Successful human trials/treatments/cures using Adult Stem Cells: 72

FDA approved human trials using embryonic stem cells -- 0 [1 in 2009]
FDA approved clinical trials using adult stem cells -- 1,181

Embryonic stem cells have been used in ANIMAL trials for 25 years.

After 25 years, and many thousands of dead mice and rats, ESCs have not been shown safe enough for trials in humans, mainly because of their propensity to form tumors (grow uncontrollably), and because of their rejection problems.

2006 Teen Stats.AGI.NCHS

The U.S. Teen Pregnancy Rate declined by 36% from 1990-2002.

The U.S. Teen Birth Rate declined by fully one-third from 1991-2004.

The birth rate among teenagers again declined 2% in 2005, continuing a trend from the early 1990s. The rate is now about 40 births per 1,000 females, ages 15 to 19. That is the lowest level in the 65 years for which a consistent series of rates is available.

The U.S. teen birth rate is still the highest among industrialized countries.

The U.S. Teen Abortion Rate also declined by 37% from 1990-2002.
