Bioethicist Art Caplan now off the embryonic stem cell hype truck he was driving

JivinJehoshaphat: Bioethicist Art Caplan is now off the embryonic stem cell hype truck he was driving: For years, Arthur Caplan was one of the leading hype ringleaders on embryonic stem cell research and human cloning. Over and over again, he misled people about President Bush's embryonic stem cell funding policy. . . . Over and over again, he hyped the importance of human cloning for research, claiming that it would 'repair damaged hearts, severed spinal cords or worn out parts of the brain that lead to Parkinson's disease.' But now that President Obama is in office and has expanded the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, Caplan suddenly comes completely clean. Isn't that nice?
