SEC rules in favor of Pepsi on bogus stem cell propaganda complaint over 293 cells

March 9, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 5 Comments

What’s the deal with the Pepsi stem cell myth? Does Pepsi have stem cells or ingredients from stem cells in it? No. Does the Pepsi corporation use embryonic stem cells to make Pepsi? No. These are myths. Nonetheless, pro-life extremists have been targeting Pepsi because of these fake connections between Pepsi and stem cells as …

The war propaganda myth of adult versus embryonic stem cells hurts everyone

February 16, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 5 Comments

If someone is not in a war, but someone else declares war on them or actually attacks them, I would say the reality is that war has started and there are two opposing sides. However, has that happened when it comes to stem cells? Are we in a stem cell war? There have been times …

Does the Planned Parenthood icon at left send chills down your spine, because according to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and most Republican Leaders, it should scare you greatly.

Lessons from the Komen Fiasco and Propaganda Wars

February 3, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 3 Comments

The Komen foundation has had a rough couple weeks, huh? First, it said it would not longer provide support to Planned Parenthood under pressure from anti-choice extremists, some of whom appear to have infiltrated Komen itself. Predictably, there was a firestorm of criticism that has damaged Komen and arguably may have actually been quite helpful …

Why Republican leaders and the conservative media are hypocrites on stem cells: propaganda

January 3, 2012 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D.

As a stem cell researcher and blogger, I hear an earful from ultra-conservatives and GOPers all the time about how immoral or unethical embryonic stem cell research is. Some even haphazardly like to call anyone who works on stem cells names. I also see articles in conservative media outlets like the National Review attacking embryonic …

Strategies of Anti-Stem Cell Propaganda War Machine

October 12, 2011 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 7 Comments

I’ve posted before about the propaganda machine that is actively promoting an anti-embryonic stem cell agenda. This machine is still out there and as many of us discussed at the recent World Stem Cell Summit, it seems to be working far better than our efforts to promote our cause. What do the folks on the …

The Anti-Stem Cell Propaganda Machine

April 13, 2011 March 8, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 8 Comments

Someone once said that in any war there is going to be propaganda, but what about stem cell propaganda? The same seems to be true for war that extreme right-wing conservatives are waging against stem cell research and researchers. A prime example is an article today in the National Review by David Klinghoffer entitled “The …

Washington Post reporters William Wan and Laurie McGinley have a new piece on the unproven regenerative clinic firm the Lung Health Institute. This article has a number of surprises and new insights.

By Elliot Hosman Summary. A campaign calling for a moratorium on using CRISPR in human embryos was launched by a prominent French organization fighting for narrow understandings of life and family. A recent campaign calling for a ban on “transgenic” human embryos was launched by one of France’s most prominent organizations fighting for “science”-backed “one-man-one-woman” …

Haunting Doudna nightmare about Hitler wanting CRISPR

November 18, 2015 February 1, 2021 / By Professor Paul Knoepfler, Ph.D. / 3 Comments

A recent piece on CRISPR genetic modification in the New Yorker called The Gene Hackers or Human 2.0 by Michael Specter is striking in a number of ways. I highly recommend it. The article provides an in-depth look at CRISPR and its potential use for human editing. I like how the article brings so many …
