Al Gore Invests Big $$ in Adult Stem Cells

"It's great that Al Gore supports iPS research, but who doesn't? Even the pope and the Catholic Church are on board," says stem cell researcher Robert Lanza of Advanced Cell Technology in Worcester, Mass. "Gore's support underscores the urgency and importance of moving this research forward."

Hmm. Earlier this week we had Oprah Winfrey's in-house doc saying (to Oprah's huge TV audience) that embryonic stem cell research was "dead" because of the astounding breakthroughs involving adult stem cells -- a.k.a. Inducted Pluripotent Stem Cells.

And now we have Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize laureate and the Left's most visible techno-geek, investing $20 million in the IPS process?

This is very good news, guys.
