why is it that republicans dont want stem cell research???

Question

im a little confused, why shouldnt we use fetuses that are already dead if you can save a life. the fetuses are already dead right?? im not talking about abortion and whats right and whats wrong, im talking about the fetuses that have already been aborted

Answer 1

Can you imagine it? Organs could be grown for people in need that are an identical genetic match basically eliminating the chance the body would reject it. Millions of people are waiting for suitable donors and this could save a lot of lives. I don't see the problem.

Answer 2

They use their anti-abortion stance to justify not doing embryonic stem cell research, but that is majorly flawed.

The embryos that they would test on were not aborted, but were created as part of fertilization treatments. They fertilize more eggs than the woman really needs so they have extras if the original doesn't take. The extras are usually thrown out after awhile and not adopted by others wanting children.

Answer 3

You do know that George Bush is the only president to fund embryonic stem cell research? Right?
Bill Clinton vetoed the same funding.Do you ever think about the crap that issues from your keyboard?

Answer 4

First of all, they do not use fetuses. For embryonic stem cell research, they use the zygote.
Secondly, they are not opposed to using embryonic stem cells, they are opposed to your tax dollars being spent on the research.
There are pro-life Republicans, who believe life begins at conception, who oppose embryonic stem cell research. But then, they should also oppose invitro fertilization.

Answer 5

We have stem cell research and we even fund stem cell research. What is it about truth and facts that confuses a liberal so much?
We even have embryonic stem cell research, but the government don't fund that. But guess what? The research teams are not finding any benefit with the embryonic stem cell research. They are however developing cures withthe non embryonic. You have been yet another victim of the liberal press. Hope you enjoy the egg on your face.

Answer 6

Apparently, the republicans and the christian right believe that a human life begins at the conception, and anything that involves that is against their belief of pro-life movement. But, they never acknowledge the fact that the eggs gathered from women, when not needed anymore are simply just discarded as trash or garbage. The republicans, christian right, and pro-lifers, cannot see the garbage they throw away should be use for stem cell research to find cures for maladies as Parkinson and alzheimer to name a couple.

Answer 7

If anyone would have paid attention to the legislation that was killed it stated "Federal funding of stem cell research"!!!!! I am not against it at all, but their are many private firms that can do the research!!!! I pay enough in taxes already, I don't need to pay any more!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

The Republican party is associated with the right or those who are socially conservative. Most of the members of the party are religious who oppose abortion and other liberal ideaologies. Given this overview, it is no wonder that they strongly oppose stem cell extraction, even from aborted fetus, because it implicitly justify abortion. It would send a signal that abortion is ok because you can help science in their research.

Answer 9

They are not against it, they are against federal dollars funding it. If it was such a sure fire thing to cure the world of every ill, why aren't private companies funding it so they can have the lion's share of the profit when it pays off?

Answer 10

wrong.
Rep's don't want "government-funded" stemcell research.
Rep's don't want the use of stemcells from aborted fetuses used for stemcell research.
Adults can make a choice to donate their cadavers for medical research. Unborn babies can not make that choice.
