I just don't see how it was validated if the embryos were indeed ultimately destroyed. From an ethical standpoint, how is that any different from harvesting?

Apparently, Limbaugh apologised for the remark, but then went on to say that Fox is politicising his suffering by stumping for a particular party

Darius,
The concept holds that a single cell can be taken from a mass of 8-10 and still be viable. That was the test and that part worked. The means of extraction apparently was too disruptive to the embryo.
It now becomes a matter of more delicate harvesting.
In other words part one accomplished. Part 2 needs refinement. You are correct until the both embryo and single cell harvested remain viable the technique is not ready for prime time. But again I reiterate this is a very recent development, expect more on this."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Longer article about it here:Limbaugh on Michael J. Fox: ‘I Take Back None of What I Said’
Rush Limbaugh is sticking to his claim that Michael J. Fox is exaggerating the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease — by “acting” or “not taking his medications” — in an advertisement promoting stem cell research.
The media falsely reported that he “apologized” to Fox. On his radio show today, Limbaugh said he regrets nothing. Watch it:
Transcript:
I stand by what I said. I take back none of what I said. I wouldn’t rephrase it any differently. It is what I believe; it is what I think. It is what I have found to be true.

Parkinson Foundation Debunks Limbaugh’s False Smears of Michael J. Fox
Rush Limbaugh has repeatedly attacked actor Michael J. Fox for appearing in television campaign ads promoting stem cell research. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease, appears “visibly racked by tremors” in the ads.
“He is exaggerating the effects of the disease,” Limbaugh told listeners yesterday. “He’s moving all around and shaking and it’s purely an act. … This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn’t take his medication or he’s acting.”
According to the National Parkinson Foundation, Limbaugh has no idea what he’s talking about. The Washington Post reports:
[I]n an interview in Ladies Home Journal’s September edition, Fox said he was taking a medication that causes jerking, fidgeting and other abnormal involuntary movements, known as dyskinesia. Fox said he was taking another medication to lessen those side affects.
An official of the National Parkinson Foundation said movements like those exhibited by Fox are the result of taking medication to treat the disease, which would otherwise result in rigidity.
“When you see someone with those movements, it’s not because they have not taken medication but because they probably have taken medication for some time,” the official said. “If you don’t take the medication, then you freeze.”
Limbaugh continued the assault today, calling Fox’s video “an attack ad” that is “filled with disinformation about embryonic stem cell research.”Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment
