I agree 100%. If embryos need to be protected from research then they need to be protected from abortion too. Its to bad so many ignorant people have bought into this crap.

Oh, and I think the questioner is calling the politicians degenerates, not the medical industry in general.

You are truly an ***. Just because you put "fact" in front of everything you say doesn't make it so. If it did, I could do this...
Fact: You do not have a brain capable of reasonable thought.
Fact: The ocean is not filled with sea water, it is filled with lime Jello-O
Fact: The United States only has 45 states, not 50.
And all of these would be true because I put "fact" in there at the beginning.
And it hasn't yielded much because they don't have the funding for it. If it yielded nothing, then the bill would have never made it to Bush's desk. That's right, even Republicans voted yes on this bill...doesn't that just make your blood boil? Someone from your side voted to sustain a program that can help mankind...better start blasting them and call them kooks!
Liberals do care about stem cell research because of the value it can bring to human life. It is taking something from cells that are not scientifically considered a life and turning them into something good to benefit medical research. I hope that someday it will be funded by the government. That way, if you ever develop Alzheimer's or cancer, you can be cured and come back to complain about stem cell research some more.

I answered with this earlier, but I shall do it again. Tony Snow, Whitehouse Press Secretary, said that GW Bush does not support murder. He then followed it up by saying stem cell research is not illegal, that private companies can continue to do the research, it will just not be funded by the federal government. Here, I shall try to argue like the Rapture Right: Stem cell research is murder. Stem cell research is not illegal. Private companies can murder because it is not illegal.
The real science, however, say this; It all begins with the five to seven days after conception. This is the time period during which embryonic stem cells can be harvested. Most on the right believe that life begins at the moment of conception. So many believe that to kill the cytoblast (the term for the embryo at this particular stage) is amoral and should not be done. i.e. It is murder.
When a couple decides they no longer want any more invitro procedures done, the companies that do the procedures are under the obligation to destroy the remaining supply of cytoblasts, the very same cytoblasts that could otherwise be used for stem cell research.
The Rapture Right's logic on this subject then leads me to believe that it is better to throw life in a garbage can than to use it for research and possible cures to diseases.
The embryos are frozen, they have 150 cells, they aren't even embryos, they are cytoblasts. They already exist and the Rapture Right would rather put them in the trash than in a laboratory.

Fact: Annually approximately 200,000 embryos are created in fertility treatment clinics nationwide.
Fact: Of those, only approximately 15% are ever used, as many more are created that are needed. Additional embryos are frozen for the couples future use. If the couple does not seek future treatment, those remaining 85% of embryos are discarded.
Fact: It happens everyday.
Only degenerates would prefer those embryos be destroyed for no purpose rather than being destroyed to save lives. And you greatly overstated the adult stem cell thing. Embryonic stem cells in foreign research have yielded much better results than adult stem cell research has in the US.
Grow up and actually attempt to debate something, because I school you every time and so do about 15 other people.

Fact: embryonic stem cell research has produced results, but right wing radicals won't let the truth get in the way of their agenda
Fact: Adult stem cell reasearch has had some success, but it is only limited to the maliability of said cells
Fact: Conservatives don't give a rats rectum about the truth if it gets in the way of their agendas
Fact: Abortion is legal in the US
Fact: Abortion will remain legal even if Roe vs. Wade is overturned, it will be remanded back to the states
Fact: no matter how anybody feels about abortion, conservatives hate that a good thing (stem cell research) can come of a bad thing (abortion)
Fact: anybody who refuses to accept that there are benefits to embryonic stem cell research hasn't done enough looking into the issue
Fact: any radical right wing fool who openly calls others degenerates for wanting to better medical science is probably a degenerate themselves

Sorry to break it to you, but I don't care too much for embryonic stem cell research. In fact, it's been said that the stem cells in cord blood are as good, probably better, than either that taken from a blastocyst or an adult. And before you talk about frothing at the mouth, why don't you shoot your mother in the spine, right at the brain stem, and then come back and tell me how horrible stem cell research is. Better yet, do it to yourself. Your kind probably wouldn't hesitate at the opportunity to kill your mother. Such degenerates.

Many scientists, docs and researchers have a god-like complicated. via fact they can't ward off and treatment the ailments we already have and be afflicted by, they sense the would desire to return up with innovating strategies to make a recognition for themselves. Cloning? isn't it God's activity to create life? the place will this lead and the place will it end? Stem cellular examine? Take a factor of a created man or woman and use it to help out an sick human. the place might this lead and the place might it end? Genetic Engineering? Engineering is the notice that throws me right here. i'm against all 3 and no i does not partake in any of them despite if i necessary a coronary heart. Embryonic stem cellular is repulsive to me and the day will come while they're going to pay women to get pregnant via fact there are not adequate embryonic stem cells to circulate around. guy abuses each thing!

it is how the media is framing the issue. how many times is the word empryonic attached to the story? the framed it to look like the president oppises all stem cell research, which is not true. under Pres. Bush more money has been given to stem cell research then previous adminstration. 2 he did not ban embryonic research just no federal money for it. third adult stem cells are doing things today that empryonic can not do. also the person says he is schooling us should no other country is doing therapeutic cloning is what this bill would let happen. here is a couple resources;

Bush's threat to veto stem cell funding is morally bankrupt
Scott Rosenberg of Salon has an excellent blog entry explaining why Bush's threat to veto federal funding of stem cell research is shamefully ridiculous.
Here is why Bush's position is a joke: Thousands and thousands of embryos are destroyed every year in fertility clinics. They are created in petri dishes as part of fertility treatments like IVF; then they are discarded. If Bush and his administration truly believe that destroying an embryo is a kind of murder, they shouldn't be wasting their time arguing about research funding: They should immediately shut down every fertility clinic in the country, arrest the doctors and staff who operate them, and charge all the wannabe parents who have been wantonly slaughtering legions of the unborn. But of course they'll never do such a thing. (Nor, to be absolutely clear, do I think they should.) Bush could not care less about this issue except as far as it helps burnish his pro-life credentials among his "base."

Must be nice to live in such a self-deluded, self-righteous paradise.
Do you REALLY think Nancy Reagan supports embryonic stem cell research because she is anxious to have a lot more abortions? Yeah, that Nancy has always been a big supporter of abortions, all right!
