2001, I reminded this dysfunctional political entity that a cell has been discovered, namely the stem cell which when used and harnessed properly it can change the way we may approach therapeutic medicine as we know it for the future.Scientist first managed to culture embryonic stem cells in 1998 and the fight for stem cells began at that time.However, the fight led us into a somewhat confused direction which also prompted President Bush to ban all research on human embryological stem cell which also managed to put the United States way back in the race for all the advancements that should be forthcoming.It took the US several years to recover from all the advancements in this exciting field and today the USA is still lacking behind other leading countries in the World because of bad decisions made by naïve and ill driven politicians and other entities at the early stages of this very important scientific breakthrough.It is vital that in the light of the dazzling potential of human embryonic stem cell research, and the money that could one day be made from it, we also keep a watchful eye for treatments only public finance will back.That is what happens when true leadership by unambitious and unmotivated politicians is nowhere to be found.
