Stem Cell Research?

Okay here's me around midnight...getting curious as to what my fellow forum junkies think.....let's open this can of worms again

I'm for it

hehe...I win....j/k

I'm definitely for stem-cell research. There's so much good that can come from it.

I'm for it as well. Even if you find abortions to be wrong, as long as we have them might as well let something good come out of it.

you're not at all worried about the possibility of messing with embryos and such???

"Your breakin my balls sir, Your breakin my balls"

huh??? okay...well I'm losing...wah....
Funny thing is I may end up doing something like stem cell research if I continue studying biology....there is much to be learned...but line, rules, etc need to be est for stem cell research not to lead to a world of craziness

No, because they are embryos created solely for the purpose of research and there is no intent for them to come to term. It's not like they research stem-cells in an embryo that's in a woman's womb.

Its from that South Park episode where cartman finds all of those fetuses

it depends...cuz which kind of stem cell research are we talking about?

getting stem cells from embryos is not the only way possible...

I am for it as well, completely, the possibilities are limitless to the possible applications and if that good is, say, cure degenerative diseases like Parkinson's, or helping someone walk again, then it is worth it. And it doesn't even always require embryos to be touched, stem cells can be obtained from umbilical cords of a child that is born in a healthy state, and there are other sources as well.

waste not eh....yeah I can see how that would be a good source....specific rules would and I assume are being made for the moral implications of this ocean of reasearch.

It's exciting...it's scary....it's a lovely thing to debate

If I'm not mistaken, I think they've found stem cells in adult fat cells...

(we just discussed stem cell research last week in my philosophy class.)

Im with you Jules 😉

nice sig Star! 😱

I know JP, isn't it awesome? 😱 seems so small compared to my other ones, though...

The assistant principal at my high school had cancer, and he had some sort of stem cell therapy that helped get it into remission...it really is something that I think we should look into.

all pro for this one ... can help people a lot with their problems

I am actly againt this for the reason that they cut up babies who been aborted and use it for reseach.I don't think this is good at all but kind of sick.
So I have to say I am againt it.Inleast acouse they find a better way to help these people!jm

Again, another fine show of ignorance JM.

I'm all for it. Stem cells are a great way to help the people that are already living on this planet.

"you're not at all worried about the possibility of messing with embryos and such???"

Nope. I'm for it for reasons stated by so many others, not out of following just agreement.

If JM was getting attacked by a zombie I swear she'd try to make friends with it and not kill it based on the fact that it was alive once. Ironic how those that claim to value life so much, often do their utmost to prevent advances that will increase the quality of it.
