Stem cell research ,out of curiosity as a Christian what would do? serious answers please?

Question

Im a christain and would like to know what do we do as christains if we were to have a desease in which there ended up being a cure , if we found out that reserch was done by stem cells a life is taking that cure wrong? it wouldnt be on everything that you would use but if you knew for sure what would you do? and what do you think about on the products that stem cell reserch is done on sould it be written on tha package so people could choose?

As far as i know these are alive not from dead babys os live adult am i wrong

Answer 1

i think stem cell research is done on aborted children. from what ive heard, the entire process is gruesome and heart wrenching.

what you have is someone who got pregnant when they werent supposed to and now they want their child aborted. the child is a living being now and they are basically committing murder. after that, doctors shove needles and hooks "up there" and pull the dead child out PIECE BY PIECE. think on that and fiqure out were chrisitians should stand on this matter.

to me, its completely wrong. i dont care what amazing products we got of it, murder is wrong! especially taking away the chance from a child to ever experience life outside the womb. i hope you fight against this as well.

Answer 2

If it takes us twice as long to cure any diseases using stem cells, I would be all in favor of not sharing the cures with the people who tried to prevent them from being discovered in the first place. Why do you think you should reap the benefits if you protested long and hard against the research, letting millions die in the meantime?

OK, I probably wouldn't deny the cure to anyone, since I'm NOT an evil, vengeful god, nor do I believe in one. But I'd want them to consider the above very carefully.

Edit: No one is talking about killing babies to get stem cells. What they are talking about is getting the cells from fetuses that are already dead from other causes. Please look into this more if you don't know what you're talking about. There are so many fetuses in cold storage that could be used to save countless lives, but may never be at this rate. We'll just have to wait for Korea to figure it out.

Answer 3

some each and anybody is misinformed about this. even as a guy and a woman social gathering, like one yet another a large purchase (some ought to even say love), they have sex. Then, his sperm fertilizes her egg and 9 months later VOILA a toddler is born! this isn't precisely what occurs with stem cellular study. we are not taking a fetus and turning it into Frankenstein. we are taking stem cells out of someone's body and utilising to recreate some thing (not someone). case in element, in Finland, a guy replaced into lacking the better component to his jaw. They used stem cells to regrow his top jaw interior his personal body. To me, this is not some thing short of fantastic. tell me, stem cellular naysayers, ought to you deny your self the chance to look remotely time-honored with techniques from not agreeing to regrow your jaw through stem cellular study? i does not, i must be the first to signal up. Brandon edit: For those of you who do not save up with technology, this is been shown that you'll create a stem cellular without the destruction of an embryo. it is in elementary words in this is infancy, no destruction of the embryo, yet what do you imagine about that now?

Answer 4

If a life has to be killed to help another,I think it's wrong.Last night,a law in Australia was passed that allowed cloning of human embryos that would later be destroyed for the purpose of harvesting embryonic stem cells.Adult stem cells don't kill anyone,but harvesting embryonic stem cells kills the baby.

eri,the asker only specified stem cells,not what type,and nothing about whether they were already created or not.There are many types of stem cells and I was answering from one point of it.

Answer 5

I think if we are going to kill babies we might as well use them for something they live on in others that way, instead of throwing them to the flies while innocent people die for the sake of religion.

--Oh a better question would have been:
Christians, If your child had a disease that could be cured by stem cell research would you let you child undergo treatment?

-- They rather ban it all together condemning people who need medical help for their own selfish need to fulfill their faith.

---I’m not Christian btw just an honest observer

Answer 6

Mate I asked my Christian science student son and he said he could see no problems with is but he missed the point that these are human lives. I was wondering if He could sacrifice his life to save perhaps tens of thousands would he mind.

Answer 7

I believe that if they take this stem cells from grown human beings or a person that is living then its ok but if they have to kill babies for these purpose then I am not for it.

Answer 8

We have death because of sin. You cant' fight it until after Armageddon when death is lifted away from us.

Why do babies die?

Ps. 51:5, JB: “You know I was born guilty, a sinner from the moment of conception.” (See also Job 14:4; Genesis 8:21.)

Rom. 3:23; 6:23: “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God . . . The wages sin pays is death.”

God does not “take” children from their parents, as some have been told. Although the earth produces ample food, selfish political and commercial elements often hinder its distribution to those most in need, resulting in death due to malnutrition. Some children die in accidents, as adults do. But all of us have inherited sin; we are all imperfect. We were born in a system in which everyone—both the good and the bad—eventually dies. (Eccl. 9:5) But Jehovah ‘yearns’ to reunite children with their parents by means of the resurrection, and lovingly has made provision to do so.—John 5:28, 29; Job 14:14, 15; compare Jeremiah 31:15, 16; Mark 5:40-42.

Where are the dead?

Gen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.”

What is the condition of the dead?

Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”

John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)

Is there some part of man that lives on when the body dies?

Ezek. 18:4: “The soul [“soul,” RS, NE, KJ, Dy, Kx; “man,” JB; “person,” TEV] that is sinning—it itself will die.”

Isa. 53:12: “He poured out his soul [“soul,” RS, KJ, Dy; “life,” TEV; “himself,” JB, Kx, NAB] to the very death.” (Compare Matthew 26:38.)

See also the main headings “Soul” and “Spirit.”

Are the dead in any way able to help or to harm the living?

Eccl. 9:6: “Their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.”

Isa. 26:14: “They are dead; they will not live. Impotent in death, they will not rise up.”

Answer 9

Stem cell research is OK - man was made to explore the Earth

Answer 10

If you Believe than you refuse all cures and treatments since God is taking care of you, not men and their nasty science.
Furthemore you are so happy to leave your present life in order to give a try to the next one wich will be better... Correct ?
