Question

Folks i think Stem cell study is very important. What do you think?

Every one welcome to answer, please don't attack any idea, and be courteous and respect each other.

AND NO "THUMBS DOWN" PLEASE. I f you like an answer rate it positive, and if you don't just go to the next one.

Thanks and God bless you all.

Folks, this is truly one of the best learning tools. I am learning from each answer some thing new. In my days if i wanted to get this much good information, i had to go to library spend 2-3 days, and read 10 different book to get some prospectives about a subject.

Answer 1

Watching people suffer when there are smart people out there that could do something about it and are prevented from doing it by neocons is immoral in my honest opinion.

Answer 2

ESR holds the key to producing mesodermal cells, tissues and organs which in turn can become progenitor cells capable of cell division. We are at an unusual crossroads in modern medicine, a pint at which our knowledge and capacity has the ability of carrying out undreamed of possibilities to cure some of the widespread conditions that plague us.

Those critical of ESR point out that its an ethically ambigious area of destroying life but that argument its completely misleading since young embryos hardly register thoughts, emotional intelligence or even possess a constituted awareness as other animals. ES cells are also being disposed of on a daily basis - so the question that is in everyone's minds is why aren't we using this to battle Parkinson's, diabetes, Alzheimers?

Portugal, Belgium and even Iran are leading ahead of us in cancer treatments

You know its frustrating that Bush would veto every single legislation that proposes to give more federal fundings to stem cell research. Conservatives are enjoying their moment in the Oval House and Congress by jointly legislating stricter guidelines that private companies are finding themselves liable to from the committees they hire. Scientists are feeling the pressure - many can't even circulate their journals for other scientists to peer review since the experiments would have to be in the public domain.

I can't understand how personal politics and partisan-religion based agenda has found its way into influencing public policy on science but it is starting to rear its ugly head. We are obviously so close to finding cures from ESR and we can't risk holding out on these promises of treatments just by going by someone's else "morals." Well keep those damn morals in your own house and don't dictate it from the office to the entire country. Religious-based convictions shouldn't even be used in discussions on public policy as it conflicts with science and reasoning

If only, only, only we had Clinton in office.

Answer 3

Adult and Cord Blood stem cell research are already federally funded. The President did not sign the bill allocating federal funding to embryonic stem cell research. Private companies are still able to pursue embryonic stem cell research, as long as it is privately funded.

Answer 4

in america we believe the flintstones is a documentary. we would throw embryos in the garbage but not use them for research, so we can fall father and farther behind in research being done in the rest of the world. we quit teaching science in school because its not pc. this is the way the politicians stay in power.

Answer 5

It doesn't matter, the US can ban any research it wants but other countries can still perform the research. Then of course, they'll have the technology and we won't and once again we suffer under the theocratic yoke.

Answer 6

Christians can worship all they want but they should not be allowed to bring their dogma in the realm of science and public education.

Answer 7

Ya,like ibid say's.

Answer 8

cures lose pharm companies money, treatments make their stocks go up.
