It 's misleading and cruel to raise false hopes claiming
that stem-cell therapies are just around the corner,
depending only on funding for embryonic research.
In any event, embryo research involves the destruction
of human l i fe, making i t ethical ly unacceptable.
Instead of funding embryo research, lreland should aim
to become a centre of excellence for adult stem-cell
research which is scientif ically promising and ethically
non-controversial.
