The promise of embryonic stem-cell research has finally materialized and this new technology is finally available to the public. This phone is made entirely from grade A embryonic stem-cells developed fresh from our factories with only the freshest life. You have heard the scare about other cell phones possibly causing brain tumors. Well the stem-cell phone might give heal the tumors given you by other phones by rebuilding your brain cells. This new stem-cell phone is feature packed.

Now anybody seeing this advertisement would be highly suspicious of these amazing claims. They would notice that no reputable scientist supports these claims and that there is no research showing that stem-cell phones would actually work. Why then is it that with the same outlandish claims and circumstances that people have become so convinced of ESCR?

Hi! You have probably already read this, but if not..it is most excellent on stem cell research..http://www.firstthings.com/ftissues/ft0208/opinion/condic.html
well, duhh! because *scientists* are saying it works, not some anti-choice extremist bloggers! Don’t you know that everything Scientists say is true?
Check out the museum of questionable medical devices for some amazing parallels to what we are being promised. The FDA was founded to limit this kind of hyperbole, not to encourage it!
ISO 9001 standard is not product specific and can be used by a wide range of manufacturing and service companies. Long time ago, I saw a flag-size poster on a theater in Singapore bragging about its registration to the ISO 9001 standard. One of my European colleagues recently mentioned that he received an application to register a church choir.
