In the UK and USA (two of the largest scientific nations) stem cell research is ilegal.
Even though the possible applications for stem cell treatment are endless - from new teeth, ears, eyes - to correcting brain damage.
Many countries outlaw it because of the fact that fetuses are needed for the research on the strength of human sanctity.

what is you opinion?

I have just heard on TV that "the police in Portugal are a few hours away from charging someone with the disappearance of little Maddie. Does anyone know who is about to be charged? -- I missed the rest of what SkyNews was saying on the subject.
Who do you think will be eventually charged ?
Murat ? Her parents ? I already said a prayer for the cutie to be found alive and well. I hope to God that does happens !!!

Apparently the headlines read "BRITISH SUSPECT TO BE ARRESTED IN PORTUGAL WITHIN HOURS !" WOW I can't wait to see who that is !!

I was not caught in the act of doing something illegal, yet a cop felt he wanted to search me. I asked him what probable cause he has, he couldn't answer. Later on he said "well you looked like you were doing something illegal" Well they found something on me. BUT there is a loophole the items should be thrown out of court. What should I do to ensure that happens?

I was with my ex partner for 6 years before she left me 4 yrs ago, she was not on my house deeds yet believes she should have been as she had my child,who is now 9 years old and is full time with her, tho she never really has been about and would often put the responsibility of him onto my family and friends.,but is looking after him more since solicitors have been involved. When she left 4 years ago,she left happily with the settlement that she would take what she put in. Last year when she discovered that my present partner was expecting my child this made her angry and made threats to take my house she is currently in the process of doing so through solicitors letters claiming that she has a vasted interest in my home, she has also recently purchased a new property wih her current partner and is stuck for cash to refurbish. she said she wanted money back as her family decorated when she lived here yet my current partners family have since redecorated. I would like some legal advice

Hey everyone.

My daughter-in-laws brother just found out that his girlfriend is pregnant. She is 16.....(ouch!). Her parents have forbid him to see her, and is telling him that they are going to force her to get an abortion. Can they legally do this??? Her brothers have supposedly told her that they are going to push her down the stairs.......I don't know how true that is.....I don't know the family, but the idea that someone would even say something like that scares the hell out of me. Not wanting to get into the middle of any of this, I am simply trying to find out if they can forcibly perform an abortion or not. She is desiring to file for Emancipation, but the law here says she must not live in the home and must be supporting herself....but if she leaves home, they will report her a runaway, so I don't see any way out of that one.

Any advice or help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I've got two stories. My first story was when I went to school a little stuffed up and sneezing because i slept with my cat the night before. When walking down the hall to class a student said hey jake your eyes are red you looked stoned. We then went to class and continued normally. Apparently a teacher overhead my friend saying "you looked stoned" and the dean of students was called down to take me out of class for a little "chat". I had to go down to the office and be asked "are you high young man" and have my back pack be searched then have my pockets be emptied. It was at this time I was feeling better cuz my allergies started to wear off. There was absolutely no evidence I was high or under any sort of influence from my pockets or backpack. Were my rights abused?
My second story is:
I've got a friend whose mom is a teacher at a completely different school. Her mom wanted to find out who I was so she asked some other teachers about me and what I was like.

What are the laws pertaining to carrying/possessing/transporting, etc. blank guns and ammo? Considering it has the orange tip in the barrel, and your not committing a crime. heres a situation, I'm "transporting" a blank pistol is my glove box (for protection, i live in a bad city). and i know what your thinking... "For protection? ITS A BLANK GUN!"). its gonna give me the time i need to make an escape, apprehend them and stop them from mugging/hurting me. and as long as i didnt pull it on a cop or law enforcement officer.. Its just sitting in my glove box.Thats neither here nor there, its a hypathetical question. (i could even lie to the cop and say i was borrowing it from a friend to train my dog). Just let me know what the laws are.


Please dont give your "Opinion" on what it could possibly be. I need proof of federal law or ohio law. or a story about yourself that involving a blank gun. Thanks

How do you think that the TV Licence could be remodelled?

Personally, I do not believe that the BBC should accept any type of advertising or sponsorship (any more than they already do!). I believe in a subscription-service BBC. Maybe BBC viewers could top-up a BBC viewing card at the post office and this unscrambles the BBC TV signal? Or BBC viewers could dial a telephone number on-screen to unscamble the BBC signal for individual programmes.

What are others thoughts on this?

The wife of a friend of ours attempted to murder her sister in law. She put kerosene on her body and lit fire to her. Luckily, thanks to her brother, she survived the attempt. Now this woman is being kept in police custody.

We wonder however, what penalty she will get. Considering she is a woman, and knowing how biased Indian law is when it comes to women, we don't know whether she will get 10 years or even life imprisonment. She will plead in her favour that she has a 7 month old baby (whom she tried to kill on the same day by kicking)...

She is treatening her family in law every day, and even her husband is living in fear daily.

Please tell us what we should expect...

I had pawned something about 3 years ago, and needed to get some info on that item. I contacted the pawn shop but was told they converted to a new computer system, so my records ae no longer available. I know that they have to report everything to the police that is brought to the pawn shops, so would the police still have my records?
