Hey, asking it again cause I thought the answers I got the first time I asked it were interesting and I would like to hear some more views.......
What's your view and thoughts about Stem Cell Therapy and Genetic Testing......?

You could also add your political or religious views....thanks

Ok, sorry about that, i just thought that the topic as a whole would go under Biology (which it does), the religous and political views I just quickly added, I didn't wanna ask the same question under 3 different groups....but I will now anyway, i'll probably get more answers that way

My view is absolutely go for it.

You should ask about religion and politics on the religion and politics segments.

Too many people are expressing and looking for religious views on this biology segment. They don't belong here.

i'm all in favour of it. that's the main superior thank you to do study and the quickest thank you to discover treatments for many terrible ailments, alongside with Huntingtons it fairly is genetically inheirited and at this factor, a terminal ailment. lots of people who're anti this type of study have not have been given any thought what that's prefer to observe somebody you like die by way of inches over 15 years, the place they get to a factor the place they are in a position to't stroll talk or maybe swallow earlier they die usually at around 50 yrs previous. i've got faith that a topic that some human beings have re. utilising stem stell from aborted embryoes is they are in touch that folk will start up paying women persons to have abortions to get stem cells. this may well be incorrect so rules would desire to be put in place so as that this did no longer ensue and additionally to make particular that the mummy gave consent for the stem cells for use. of direction, as became into spoke of there are different the thank you to get stem cells besides and that they've been doing stem cellular study on a definite form of pig from the Auckland Islands, it fairly is amazingly equivalent to human stem cells. human beings get cloning blended up. being waiting to make particular that the infant would not have those ailments earlier perfect implantation is a some distance cry from "creating somewhat one have blue eyes, blond hair and finding out on the intercourse in simple terms considering which you prefer a designer infant.

Scientific research into the nature of stem cells, adult stem cells (ASC), has been around for a number of decades. Thus, knowledge of adult stem cells is far more established than that of the more recently discovered embryonic stem cells, ESCs. ESCs were little more than a theory until about the mid- to late 1990s. ESCs were discovered at the blastula stage in embryonic development, about five days post fertilization. At the blastula stage, this cell is pretty much a round or spherical body about the size of a period at the end of this sentence"." At this point, the blastula is made up of a few hundred somatic cells enclosing something like 15 or 20 ESCs. It is these ESC cells that are totipotent (able to differentiate into all cell types of the body) and best suited for certain types of medical and research application over that of the more differentiated (pluripotent) ASC cells. Each stem cell type has its own areas of usefulness in medicine, bioengineering, and research. As such, I fully support funding for research and medical application using both ASC and ESC stem cells. I encourage others to do the same.

It is still in the highly experimental stages, but some aspects of it have been shown to be effective. The controversy is actually about "embryonic" stem cells, but there are also "adult" stem cells. Most people are not aware that cells can be reverted to the embryonic state, which means that the "controversy" should be over with, but the knowledge of the general population always lags behind the forefront of scientific knowledge.

A long way off, if it works at all.
