Stem Cell Research...
 

Whats the big deal? Why are people ethically against it?

I've noticed a bunch of ads on TV for prop 71.

http://www.curesforcalifornia.com/

I heard a thing on the tv that said fat cells may contain stem cells that are needed for this research.

IME the ones against it don't understand it or are just idiots anyway :)

from what i've read stem cell research could mean cures for loads of the current major health problems. they will even be able to grow new parts of the body such as eyes, hearts etc in the near future.

i think the controversy currently is that they have to fertilise a human egg or use aborted foetuses to get the stem cells (i think).

Religious fanatics hate science. Which is understandable, think about how many times it's made them look stupid over the years.

If thats the case im sitting on a gold mine.

This issue is why Kerry will be getting my vote. Stem cell research is the greatest hope in finding a cure for the disease I suffer from - diabetes.

If they can create me good new pancreas that creates insulin like most people's do out of stemm cells one day I'll be ecstatic.

But Bush makes it impossible for researchers to get funding for research invloving use of stem cells.

I call this murder. The lack of this research alone will probably mean I die 20 years earlier than I should.

I'm Diabetic as well. Although i doubt I'll ever see this happen in my lifetime.

exactly, typical bible humpers

:thumbsup or they don't have a friend/relative with one of the many genetic and other diseases that could be kicked in the butt with stem cell research. :upsidedow

The big deal is that the religious right believe that life begins at conception and fertilized embryos are the source for the stem cells.

Yeah my ex-girlfriend her father had M.S. And stem cell research shows great promise for people with the disease and she actually the one who enlighten me to the topic. Many people could live better lifes with this...

Yes, and it is not that the religious right are the majority but that more of them vote than the average population.

Another example of how fucked up Bush is. He knows he's against it yet since Kerry brought it up Bush is out there today saying in his speeches that he's the first president that there has been stem cell research. More fucking bullshit.

This issue can be boiled down to - "the start of life".

It is an issue faced by many leaders for centuries and centuries.

Currently we get "stem cells" from embryo's which are fertilized eggs now multi-celled.

This issue is when does life start?

I say life starts when the fertilized egg has implanted into the uterus wall successfully.

What I find interesting about your link is the MONEY involved if you support stem cell research.

Shouldn't the arguement be just science and not economics?

I put myself on a diet consisting of

12% artificially produced chemicals (pesticides, hormones, preservatives)

33% high fructose corn syrup

9% animal fat

21% artificial fats

and 25% refined complex carbohydrates

Im so excited with the wonderful food these days and hopefully in the near future, we can move from 95% artificial/genetically modified intake to 100%.

Record companies make more by keeping artists in debt, agents keep boxers fighting for more money by taking most of it away from them, the president stays in power by keeping the nation in debt, and drug companies get richer by leaving people clinging to life.
