Q. should stem cell research be used to help people with disorders such as Michael J Fox has.

my mother had Parkinson disease, its not what she died of but she had it more like Muhammad Ali Michael's is an advanced case and he had it while he was so young too, that may be a factor. as far as stem cell research they could do it and are doing it on cord blood from the umbilical cords from the placenta so they really don't have to do it with embryos they just want to for some reason

Of course stem cell research should be used to find new treatments for illnesses. According to my psychobiology textbook, fetal stem cell transplants have already been shown to reduce the effects of damage to the domapine producing cells of the substantia nigra (typical of Parkinson's disease, among other things), although the treatement is still far from perfect.
Stem cell research uses cells from discarded embryos from fertility clinics, and potentially also from aborted fetuses. In both cases, the embryos/fetuses were going to be destroyed. Even if you believe a fetus is a life, why shouldn't a fetus that's going to die no matter what be used to save lives? How is that any worse than allowing a family to chose to donate the organs of a murder victim? Regardless of your views on abortion, stem cell research is a separate issue, and should not be controvertial.

you could choose for to ignore relating to the becoming conservative help for stem cellular examine despite the fact that it can't flow away. certainly that stem cellular examine is fairly close to no longer having to count on embryos besides. i assume meaning you could flow back to throwing them away. you will enable placentas for use interior the cosmetics marketplace (placentas which incorporate a super form of - - - STEM CELLS! yet you pick for this as an argument? Your credibility suffers i'm afraid. via the way, what good might it do to donate money to embryonic stem cellular examine whilst that's constrained to the lines that have been modern-day previously the ban went into result. which may be like taking your watch to an vehicle restoration save to get it fixed you're tremendously particular they don't have the strategies and you be attentive to they don't have the journey, yet the two places restoration issues? via the way, that's now common prepare to freeze stem cells taken out of the umbilical cord whilst a toddler is born, in case they want them if the baby gets particular kinds of maximum cancers. on account which you seem understanding of steam in this issue (stem cells can now be created without embryos) i assume you ought to point your perfect wing conservative weapons in this one next!

Yes! Stem cell research should be used, it can help so many people and cure so many diseases I don't know why everybody wouldn't be in favor of it.

Not at all, but next time he is on Scrubs, or any other show, I want him to shake it like a polaroid picture as well.
