He points out a study in which mice are completely cured of diabetes (Harvard University Gazette) and another study in which the diabetic mice attained full insulin production, while their embryonic stem cell treated counterparts in a similar study achieved only 3% insulin production and then died. These adult stem cell successes, once again, received minimum exposure, if any, while the embryonic failures received full coverage. .
According to Smith, while there have been tests conducted with adult stem cells on human beings, there have been none conducted on humans with embryonic stem cells. He states the reasons as "ES cells cause tumors may be rejected by the immune system." However, conversely, the adult stem cell research has been able to be performed due to the fact that there is " no risk of rejection with adult cells they come from the patients" own bodies nor does adult-stem-cell therapy appear to cause tumors".
Smith believes whole-heartedly in the validity and promise of adult stem cell research. He also believes that the media is bias toward embryonic research for political reasons pertaining to the issue of abortion. In another Guest Comment article for the National Review Online website, entitled "Bio Spin: Why adult-stem-cell-research successes get downplayed by the media", Smith speaks out, once again on the media bias and what drives it. He points out that most of the media are liberal and pro-choice: "Because the cloning/ESCR issues force us to dwell on whether unborn human life has intrinsic value simply because it is human, the issue tends to be viewed by journalists through a distorting abortion prism." However, he points out that the stem cell debate is completely separate from the abortion debate because the abortion debate is focused on the woman and her right to choose whether or not she will give birth. .
The stem cell issue is related to when life begins, and whether or not the growing of fetuses for use in medical research is mass infanticide.

Active and attentive listening isn't always easy to do but it is critical to success. In today's world we tend to make assumptions instead of really listening.
