Speaking to voters in Columbia, Mo., Biden said: "I hear all this talk about how the Republicans are going to work in dealing with parents who have both the joy, because there's joy to it as well, the joy and the difficulty of raising a child who has a developmental disability, who were born with a birth defect. Well guess what folks? If you care about it, why don't you support stem cell research?"
As a parent of a Special Needs Son with Aspergers Syndrome. Mr. Biden's statement on Stem Cell Research and the Republican Party clearly shows his narrow mindedness and outright stupidity!. He pruports to support the underdog, He pruports to support the middle class.....when clearly his actions and comments in no way do either.
Mr Biden apparently feels that children, or adults for that matter, who have a development disability are somehow flawed, need to be changed...need to be fixed. I suggest that Mr. Biden visit Wikipedia and learn what embryonic stem cell research does.
ES cell therapies have been proposed for regenerative medicine and tissue replacement after injury or disease. This does not include Developmental Disabilities.
Biden's support of stem cell research is at odds with the position taken by the Republicans' vice presidential nominee, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. I feel he is taking a despicable blow to Governor Palin's belief, especially given the fact that Governer Palin has a 5-month-old son, Trig, that has Down syndrome.
Governor Palin, who states she is an evangelical Christian, opposes embryonic stem cell research because it involves the use of human embryos. However, her running mate, GOP presidential nominee John McCain, does support stem cell research involving embryos.
Again, Joe Biden clearly shows his ignorance on the subject and for his opponents for that matter. His intolerance and dirogatory comments for those with special needs, and his underhanded comments show his true character......and given the fact that he clearly is not aware of what benifts ES brings...or what a developmental disability is....shows either he doesn't care or he truly is the most uninformed canidate in this election!ES is not the answer. Any use of human embryos is wrong. I am the first one who wants to find cures to disease and a way to repair injuries. But buying into the fallacy that taking human life to create human life is wrong.
I will do everything in my power, to share with everyone I come in contact with over the next few months, to ensure Mr. Biden and his presentational running mate are not elected. As a parent, I can not afford someone like Mr. Obama and especailly, Mr. Biden being in the white house.

So here is my two cents..take it or leave it...WE DO NOT HAVE TO USE HUMAN EMBRYOS TO DO STEM CELL RESEARCH...Each day children are born..the Cord connecting these children to there mother contain Hunderds to thousands of stem cells that we just throw away like trash..What is 1 in 100 monthers donated their cords to science we could excel the research into Alzheimers and Cancer...Which is a huge chunk of the research. Heart disease is another...All of which have touched my family seriously in the past few years...My grandmother would know i exist and remember me and my mother would beable to live each day with out chemo if we just used what was available..Stem cell research has nothing to do with damaged kids but someday it may make the lifes of all of us much easier and healthier...
