@waltermh111 I don’t know the guy, but HEK 293 is code for human embryonic kidney cells and you will not get that from Stem Cell, a stage 14–15 days post fertilization Human embryos. The articles I’ve read were saying about HEK 293. Off I goes to munch on a chemically treated burger before they contaminate them with anything else, nom, nom, nom….=)- /watch?v=IaaHWKgSrdQ

@nvieira100 Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells, also often referred to as HEK 293, 293 cells, or less precisely as HEK cells are a specific cell line originally derived from human embryonic kidney cells grown in tissue culture. HEK 293 cells are very easy to grow and transfect very readily and have been widely-used in cell biology research for many years. They are also used by the biotechnology industry to produce therapeutic proteins and viruses for gene therapy.

@tvsinesperanto I was just showing that State Sen. Ralph Shortey was not being a fool as being implied by some.

@tvsinesperanto Yes, thanks. I had also found some info on it. But what people don’t understand is sometimes laws are made beforehand to stop things from happening, and this can be where "TheYoungTurks" are getting their reporting wrong.

@SillyLitleGirl What you do is Google and stop being sooooooooo lazy….=)- This comment section of YT is not exactly link friendly, they don’t make it easy to put links in the comments.

@nvieira100 But, where did they get their info from? Just because you see a group that you don’t like does not mean what they are saying is not happening. You’re the one that’s being an idiot, get investigating and instead of sprouting crap.

Google it.....=) According to Children of God for Life (CGL), a pro-life watchdog group, Senomyx uses HEK 293 to produce its artificial flavor enhancing chemicals. HEK 293 is code for human embryonic kidney cells that are manipulated to produce taste receptors that express a specific protein known as the G protein. But CGL says the company could also use animal, insect, or other more acceptably-derived cells instead, and still procure the same results.

@tvsinesperanto Shortey may be acting on claims that the San Diego-based company Semonyx used proteins derived from human embryonic kidney cells to test artificial sweeteners, NPR reported. The cell line, known as HEK 293, was created from a human embryo in 1970 and has become a staple in biochemistry labs around the world.
