What does false HOPE cost us?

Heres a follow up to an earlier post.

James Kelly on Stem-Cell Research on National Review Online:
"In this and other public forums, Mr. Reeve made one demonstrably false statement after another about stem-cell research - statements that were taken as true by many, and thus diverted precious attention and resources away from avenues offering better reasons for hope. Ironically, in recent months he showed signs of realizing he may have placed too much hope in embryonic stem cells. But that misgiving was ignored by the politicized campaign for his research, which has increasingly become an end in itself."
The fact that James Kelly is a paraplegic adds credibility, but the facts and issues remain the same regardless of the messenger.
