More Hileman ham:

"Suzi doesn't want to discuss the accused gunman. She says, 'how this all happened and who did this? It's not really part of our story.'

For Suzi, the story centers around a little girl... her 9-year old buddy that she got to mentor."

Strange that she doesn't want to say something along the lines of "yes I saw the shooter shoot Christina".

Re: Giffords Brain Transplant Into 9 Year Old Clone
A glimpse of the state of stem cell research:

"The use of stem cells to repair or replace damaged brain tissue is a new and exciting avenue of research. A neural stem cell is a special kind of cell that can multiply and give rise to other more specialized cell types. These cells are found in adult neural tissue and normally develop into several different cell types found within the central nervous system. NINDS researchers are investigating the ability of stem cells to develop into neurotransmitter-producing neurons, specifically dopamine-producing cells."

[link to www.ninds.nih.gov]

This is just the information the NIH has released into the public domain.

Published papers tell a slightly different story:

"Transplanted Neural Stem Cells Survive, Differentiate, and Improve Neurological Motor Function after Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury"

[link to journals.lww.com]

It's clear neural stem cells can be used to knit parts of a damaged brain back together and restore function. Again, this is only what's been released to the public domain.

The short version of this is the researchers gave mice brain damage, from blunt force and from mock surgeries, to assess the ability of neural stem cells to repair the damage. Mice given human kidney stem cells as a "control" showed less improvement. Aside from the very weird choice of human kidney stem cells as a "control", this shows stem cells perform well to repair brain tissue.

As for why human kidney stem cells were used as a "control", it would seem this was a separate experiment in itself. The results of that experiment appear to be unpublished. I wonder what they learned by injecting human embryo kidney cells into mice brains. :| It didn't increase their motor function. What DID it do?

"Tracy Culbert, a nurse who accompanied Giffords and the congresswoman's husband, Houston-based astronaut Mark Kelly, on the flight, described her as being captivated by a ring on Culbert's finger. The nurse took it off and Giffords put it on her own hand.

'She was taking it off my hand and I asked if she wanted to see it,' Culbert said."

Are these the actions of a 40 year old woman shot in the head or the actions you might expect of a 9 year old girl? Or both?

Re: Giffords Brain Transplant Into 9 Year Old Clone
Giffords pushed stem cell research funding:

"But Giffords lost the support of many of the independent voters in her district over her backing of the health care reform law. She is also a strong supporter of abortion rights and embryonic stem-cell research."

[link to washingtonexaminer.com]

Is this operation part of a quid pro quo for her participation in getting the taxpayers to fund it all? These people have bottomless pockets. Right now it's just the "neuronauts" that get to go on this ride. Some day it will be all the rulers, their clones will be ruling us for the next million years.

The coupling of abortion rights and embryonic stem cell research is an obvious choice. Where else are you going to get all those human embryo stem cells if not from human embryos?

Re: Giffords Brain Transplant Into 9 Year Old Clone
I found the following:

"Gabby Giffords on Abortion"

[link to www.ontheissues.org]

Which states:

"Voted YES on expanding research to more embryonic stem cell lines.
Allows federal funding for research that utilizes human embryonic stem cells, regardless of the date on which the stem cells were derived from a human embryo, provided such embryos:

1. have been donated from in vitro fertilization clinics;
2. were created for the purposes of fertility treatment;
3. were in excess of the needs of the individuals seeking such treatment and would otherwise be discarded; and
4. were donated by such individuals with written informed consent and without any financial or other inducements."

This fits the profile of somebody who wants to clone themselves, use some of the embryos as stem cell treatments and have their brain transplanted into a young clone.

More published research on neurological stem cell research:

"Copyright © 2004, American Society for Clinical Investigation
Research Article
Neuronally expressed stem cell factor induces neural stem cell migration to areas of brain injury"

The implications of this paper are that stem cells exhibit a "migration" tendency whereby they repair damage. In this case the test animals were mice with deliberate forebrain damage. The reason for the focus on forebrain damage is unclear.

Re: Giffords Brain Transplant Into 9 Year Old Clone
Federal government seeking monopoly on technology, no surprise:

"States lack the revenue, infrastructure, and incentives to properly promote basic research on their own, especially with federal policies that limit collaboration, impede their funding, and fail to provide guidelines for moving forward with research."

[link to www.americanprogress.org]

Federal laws basically inhibit any research below federal level.

"The federal government provides the lion’s share of funding for stem cell research—79.4 percent through 2007—and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The federal government will even spend more specifically on embryonic stem cell research than the states, meaning that unless we update our stem cell policy, at least 55 percent of the funding currently designated for embryonic stem cell research through 2018 will go to research on outdated stem cell lines."

Removed restrictions on federal funding? What does that even mean, in light of the budget of over 140 million in 2007 specifically for embryonic stem cell research? Does that mean it was opened up to smaller scale enterprise? That means it's being scaled up for mass application.

"Already, however, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last month approved the request of Geron Corp., a California-based biotech, to proceed with the first human test using an embryonic stem cell-based treatment. New England stem cell advocates believe such developments could change the market completely — and even enable the creation of new technologies.

“If I were to make a prediction, I would say there’s a 95 percent certainty you’ll see more startups and see a significant investment by established pharmaceutical companies and venture capitalists,” said Gary Stein, interim director of the University of Massachusetts program in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine."

"Rehab Underway, Doc Calls Giffords 'Miraculous'"

[link to www.cbsnews.com]

"Doctors for Giffords have described her recovery as something of a miracle as she made quick and substantial progress."

[link to thehill.com]

"Gabrielle Gifford’s medical care here in Houston has given focus to several stories of miracles made at TIRR Memorial Hermann."

[link to www.myfoxhouston.com]

"A Washington Post story about the survival of Gabrielle Giffords reports that it was less a miracle than a matter of inconceivable gains in medical treatment."

[link to www.slate.com]

"On Jan. 11, her neurosurgeon, Dr. Michael Lemole, said of her recovery thus far, “We’re wise to acknowledge miracles.”"

[link to communities.washingtontimes.com]

Doctors have described her progress so far as nothing short of a miracle.

[link to theusdaily.com]

"It truly is a miracle that we get to see unfold."

[link to www.digtriad.com]

"Both nurses say playing a role in what some are calling Giffords' miracle recovery gave them moments to remember."

[link to www.kgun9.com]

"Her recovery has been nothing short of miraculous, to borrow a phrase from her other doctor, Michael Lemore, who also attended their daily briefings."

[link to www.theaustralian.com.au]

"Doctors at UMC have said her recovery since being shot Jan. 8 is a miracle."

[link to www.azbiz.com]

"Well-wishers lined Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ ambulance route to the airport Friday, cheering, waving American flags, and hoisting signs urging “Get Well Gabby!” as the congresswoman embarked on a long journey of rehabilitation already being hailed as a “medical miracle” and “divine intervention.”"

[link to www.newsmax.com]

All of this goes to show you what we all really know, that Giffords is just a superior human being, better than all the rest of us, and those kinds of people simply don't react to bullets the same way as the rest of us, as countless movies from Hollywood demonstrate.

"'Medical miracles do not happen simply by accident,' Obama said Monday. 'They result from painstaking and costly research; from years of lonely trial and error, much of which never bears fruit; and from a government willing to support that work,' he said."

Re: Giffords Brain Transplant Into 9 Year Old Clone
"Stem cell exodus?

Embryonic stem cell funding flows again – for now. But stop-and-go funding and continued legal wrangling could push researchers of cells from human embryos to pursue other fields."

[link to www.csmonitor.com]

"For all the national angst it generates, hESC research remains a surprisingly small part of stem-cell research. Over the past five years, it has received $530 million in federal funding, only about 3.5 percent of total stem-cell dollars.

Where does the rest of the money go? Half of all private funding and 9 of 10 federal dollars go to stem cells culled from adults, bone marrow, umbilical cords, or animals."

This "ban" doesn't really affect privately funded research at all. Releasing federal funding dollars to certain institutions is a way for them to control the development of the technology and have the taxpayers foot the bill, getting none of the benefits. It's doled out in a very careful fashion and then controlled strictly throughout the research.

Re: Giffords Brain Transplant Into 9 Year Old Clone
Privately funded stem cell research:

"Setting aside commercial efforts like those of the California biotech company Geron, consider a few examples of private funding for academic stem-cell research. The Starr Foundation is providing $50 million over three years for human embryonic stem-cell research at three New York City medical institutions, including the Sloan-Kettering Memorial Cancer Center. Weill Cornell Medical College, also in New York City, has established the Ansary Center for Stem Cell Therapeutics with a $15 million grant from philanthropists Shahla and Hushang Ansary.

In California, UCLA has established an Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Medicine with $20 million in funding over the next five years. Stanford University created the Institute for Cancer/Stem Cell Biology and Medicine, with a goal of $120 million in funding. An anonymous donor gave Johns Hopkins University a $58.5 million gift to launch an Institute for Cell Engineering. The University of Minnesota has set up a Stem Cell Institute with a $15 million capital grant. A grateful patient pledged $25 million over the next 10 years to finance stem-cell research at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston."

The "private" stem cell research amounts to about 4 billion dollars. Half of which is embryonic stem cell research. There's no shortage of embryonic stem cell research going on, despite federal funding "bans". Select companies with the best performance are no doubt chosen for the next rounds of federal funding, which are relatively small but very surgically applied.
