General Electric has become a detestable entity and I would recommend that when given a choice, one refrain from purchasing any product or service associated with the once great company. As if it wasn't bad enough that the"news" division works so hard on behalf of Obama's assault on liberty, or that with the help of Tom Daschle, G.E. hopes to have a monopoly on America's medical records, I read today that they have hit a new low. From The Wall Street Journal:
GE to Obtain Stem Cells From Geron For Research
Biotech company Geron Corp. agreed to provide stem cells to General Electric Co.'s GE Healthcare for use in tools that will test for the toxic effects of drug treatments, a move that takes GE further into stem-cell research.
The agreement marks the first time that a company of GE's stature and size has announced a business venture involving the controversial field of embryonic stem cells. That could reflect a more tolerant climate for the technology in the wake of the Obama administration's recent relaxation of restrictions on embryonic stem-cell research.
Did I mention that the war to which I refer in the subject of this post is Obama's war on the unborn? I suppose it is comforting that G.E. isn't partnering with Planned Parenthood to experiment on and potentially profit from aborted babies at various stages of development... yet. You might be thinking that G.E. might be doing this to help keep the MSNBC talent happy, given the stories about Keith Olbermann's "short-comings", but you would be wrong. Anyway, Rachel Madcow is man enough for both of them.
G.E. and Geron are in it to do the noble work that can only come from the destruction of human embryos and to profit from it. Fret not, liberal citizen, profit from the devaluation of innocent life is the good kind of profit in the Utopia of an Obamantion! How does the twisted company known as Geron view the destruction of human embryos?
The stem cells are "already harvested" so investors in the corporation that expects to see massive profits from its cable channel devoted to praising Obama, its Healthy Magination, and its other means of supporting the Obama doctrine, need not feel a moment's guilt. What nobler sacrifice could these embryos make than to line the pockets of Obama's biggest fans?
At least G.E. isn't at all cynical or seeking to take advantage of the policies of the reader of TOTUS:
For GE, the announcement comes as the conglomerate aims to both reposition its health-care group and align its business units in an effort to benefit from priorities set by the Obama administration.
Most of GE Healthcare's revenue now comes from diagnostic and imaging equipment, but those sales are under pressure as public and private insurers try to reduce costs.
