Embronic stem cells: twice the coverage

Google News search on new Parkinson's stem cell research.

Reseach on adult stem cells used to treat Parkinsons: 5 citations - none of the big names. Embryonic stem cells used to treat Parkinsons: 10 news articles, including UPI, Science Daily and Monsters and Critics.

The media reports what people want to hear - whatever brings in the readers or viewers. Mention embryonic stem cells and an angry mob will form almost immediately to campaign against them - and very soon after, their presence causes the formation of an opposing angry mob. Adult stem cells... no mob, no counter-mob. No sales.
