When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have no wine. (And) Jesus said to her, Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the servers, Do whatever he tells you. Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, Fill the jars with water. So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter. So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now. Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him. -The 2nd Luminous Mystery

Funding Embryonic Stem Cell Research One of Obama's First Moves as President

WASHINGTON, August 14, 2008-- Sen. Obama's campaign communicated that expanding federal funding for embryonic stem-cell research would be one of his first moves as president, as reported by David Brooks of the "New York Times".

This decision was made despite the recent breakthrough which provides an ethical alternative to embryonic stem-cell research. Last year, scientists revealed the possibility of reprogramming regular human skin cells to obtain embryonic-like stem cells, a process which achieves the same result as embryonic stem-cell research without destroying life.

Embryonic stem-cell research has not produced a single cure, whereas other ethically acceptable alternatives have produced over 70 cures and treatments.
