Stem Cells or System's Cells ?

Sitting on more than $10 billion in stimulus money, health institute officials have been eager to expand financing for stem cell research. Under restrictions put in place by President George W. Bush, just 21 stem cell lines have been eligible for federal financing. But researchers using private money have created more than 700 stem cell lines, some with specific diseases or mutations, many of which may now be eligible for federal financing.......

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration announced Friday that it planned to lift some but not all federal financing restrictions on human embryonic stem cell research, drawing criticism both from abortion opponents and from scientists who had expected a more liberal policy.

Guidelines proposed by the National Institutes of Health to carry out an order made last month by President Obama would allow research with federal financing only on stem cells derived from surplus embryos at fertility clinics.

By definition, a stem cell is a baby cell with a potential of becoming anybody, anything. Are the faith of these cells determined by their genes or power politics in terms of profit ?

These cells are standing on the sharp edge of a knife. On one side there is cure for alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's Disease, Heart Disease, Cancer and all sorts of and on the other side net profit from non-ethical usage, from irreversible damage to the nature.

Can these cells be also used to treat the often under-diagnosed syndrome of greed ?
