So when Missouri starts harvesting eggs for stem cell research, will the $ paid to the poor black wome?

Question

come from Michael J Fox's millions or are we going to foot that bill?

And don't even try to tell me my question is racist, because the only women that will be willing to do through the hormone shots for 30 days in this painful procedure for the few bucks they will get are going to be low-income women, mostly black in Missouri

Answer 1

Without regard to who gets paid, the plan is undoubtedly for US to foot the bill.

Answer 2

1) The embryos don't come from poor women of any color.
2) The donors won't get paid.
3) Fox is a Lib. He's only generous with other people's money.

Answer 3

how typical of the uneducated. What about the men who SELL THEIR SPERM--does that not even matter?
OUR tax dollars get spent EVERYDAY on thing that we (the individual) would not waste a penny on but that is what it is.

MOST eggs are DONATED not SOLD.

Lawmakers are working to keep it that way.
"The sale or offer for sale of a human egg would be a felony punishable by a presumptive term of a year in prison and a fine up to $150,000 plus surcharges.....Under House Bill 2142, the prohibition would apply to fees paid by a fertilization clinic to a donor but not to reimbursement of costs stemming from donation of eggs for in vitro fertilization, including medical and travel expenses involving with a donation.

The House's 33-22 vote sent the bill to the Senate.

The House also approved, 40-19, and sent to the Senate a separate bill, House Bill 2621, to require that eggs not be taken from a woman without voluntary and informed consent."

I am all for stem cell research but why not use the IVF leftovers already IN STORAGE?
why should so many (500,000) unwanted unused IVF embryos not be used first-then worry about selling or donating eggs?

Answer 4

State funds presumably.

It is such a worthwhile project, that government has to fund it because no profit-making company will take the project on with the promise of making millions/billions by mastering all the diseases this research is supposed to give us.

Answer 5

Are you trying to say that it is wrong to hunt for a cure for countless disease because the new potential source of income could be physically painful for some people who might choose to participate?

Answer 6

Don't be negative....be proud that poor black women (and many others) will be part of such big/important/critical research. and think of it this way - either the money can be spent on a search for a cure or on continued treatment.....also, i don't believe he was asking any of us to pay for it....

Answer 7

Why just pay it to poor black women- Poverty knows no racial distinctions
