So Bucky. Would you consider 'the heritage foundation" to be a reliable source in this investigation? Since the outcome of it's "investigation" agrees totally with it's political view... would you consider it suspect???

September 29, 2015, 3:14 PM First patient receives stem cell treatment for blindness
Macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 50.
The first patient has received a pioneering human embryonic stem cell operation in the U.K. that doctors hope will be effective against a common cause of blindness.
According to a statement released today, the procedure was performed on a 60-year-old woman with a condition called age-related macular degeneration at London's Moorfields Eye Hospital last month. The procedure was deemed successful and there have been no complications to date, the statement said.
The doctors expect to know by December whether or not the woman has regained her sight. The study will recruit a total of 10 patients for the ongoing trial over an 18-month period.
Age-related macular degeneration is a common eye condition and the leading cause of vision loss among people 50 and older, according to the National Eye Institute. There are two forms of the condition: "wet" and "dry." The wet form is usually caused by abnormal blood vessels that leak fluid or blood into the region of the macula, in the center of the retina. Wet macular degeneration almost always begins as dry macular degeneration.
Dry macular degeneration is far more common and affects 90 percent of people with the condition. It occurs when there is a breakdown or thinning of the layer of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in the macula, which support the light-sensitive photoreceptor cells that are critical to vision.
The current trial, which is part of the London Project to Cure Blindness, will test the safety and efficacy of transplanting RPE cells derived from stem cells to treat people with sudden severe visual loss from wet age-related macular degeneration.
In the procedure, these cells are used to replace those at the back of the eye that are diseased with the condition, through a specially engineered patch inserted behind the retina. The operation lasts one to two hours.
"There is real potential that people with wet age-related macular degeneration will benefit in the future from transplantation of these cells," retinal surgeon Professor Lyndon Da Cruz from Moorfields Eye Hospital, who is performing the operations and co-leading the London Project, said in the statement.
Professor Pete Coffey of the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology, who is also co-leading the London Project, said: "We are tremendously pleased to have reached this stage in the research for a new therapeutic approach. Although we recognize this clinical trial focuses on a small group of AMD patients who have experienced sudden severe visual loss, we hope that many patients may benefit in the future."

I thought they were heath care for men too? (Stated earlier in this thread) .... any man here ever go there for healthcare?

Hey Boxy. Do you know how to read?
The Heritage Foundation didn't conduct the forensic analysis on the tapes and I already provided the company that did.

So... if the Democrat party commissioned a study, would you accept the results. If FoxSnooze commissioned a study, a study with a particular point of view, do you think the results would be free of political influence?

The GOP Asks The Questions, then Refuses To Allow an Answer.
Quoted Text
WASHINGTON -- House Republicans grilled Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards for five hours on Wednesday, and the conclusion was obvious: They wanted to do all the talking themselves.
The point of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing was to talk to Richards about the organization's use of federal funds. It went mostly like this: ~ Republican asks question. Richards starts to respond, and Republican interrupts and asks question again. ~ Richards starts to respond, and Republican interrupts and demands answer. ~ Richards starts to respond, and the chairman, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), interrupts to move to next questioner.

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept 29 (Reuters) - Planned Parenthood's Utah chapter won an initial round in court on Tuesday challenging an attempt by the governor to cut off its funding, with a federal judge ruling that the public's interest favors keeping the women's health organization open.
U.S. District Judge Clark Waddoups issued a temporary restraining order barring Governor Gary Herbert from carrying out his directive for state agencies to revoke their contracts through which Planned Parenthood receives federal dollars.

Whether the woman's health organization profits from fetal tissue research took a back seat during a hearing on Capitol Hill.

The head of Planned Parenthood defended herself and her organization Tuesday against intense scrutiny on Capitol Hill, where congressional lawmakers used a committee hearing to question her about her salary, the organization's spending and where federal funding to the organization goes.
In his opening statement, Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican and chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, said Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards receives a salary of $600,000. A memo from Chaffetz to committee members released ahead of the hearing also accused the organization of exorbitant travel costs and lavish parties, aiming to raise questions about whether federal funds should continue to go toward medical services Planned Parenthood provides.
The memo additionally specified that Richards was paid $590,928 in 2013. She told committee members during the hearing her annual compensation is $520,000.

Apparently, Ms. Richards forgot about this video of her citing access to mammograms as one of the reasons not to cut off Planned Parenthood’s funding.
In 2011, Richards said on CNN that if federal funding is cut off to her organization “millions of women are going to lose access, not to abortion services, to basic family planning, you know, mammograms….”
BTW, Planned Parenthood’s annual report touts more than 489,000 breast cancer screenings; they just don’t mention that they refer women to other places for mammograms. Even though in the above video clip Ms. Richards herself clearly was trying to lead us to believe the access to this service was an essential service to which women otherwise might not have access without Planned Parenthood.
Ms. Richards appears to have been making the liberal play that one can claim anything she wants to support her narrative. Sadly, many liberals who continue to support Planned Parenthood continue to lap up the narrative on blind faith, without closer examination of facts. Or, for that matter, the despicable videos showing Planned Parenthood execs cavalierly discussing the harvesting and sale of baby parts, for that matter. Like Nancy Pelosi, who maintains the videos are fake while admitting she hasn’t seen them.
We wouldn’t want facts to get in the way of a liberal narrative now, would we?

Yes, if the investigative body was a neutral, non-biased 3rd party. Why wouldn't I?
You have been fed the narrative that these vids were 'doctored' 'fake' 'heavily edited' and have been parroting it here.
The Center for Medical Progress says that they are not fake, doctored or heavily edited.
'Alliance Defending Freedom' decided it would be a great idea to hire an independent non-biased 3rd party to do a forensic analysis on the videos to see if there were fake, doctored or heavily edited. CMP agreed and handed over everything.
Coalfire's report (that I'm sure you didn't read....Just like you didn't watch the videos) determined that they are not fake, doctored, or heavily edited.
Now....Are you going to sit here and tell me that Coalfire Inc. are just a bunch of liars?
