Stem Cell Research

As the topic of aborted fetuses has popped up on this BB, I'd like to mention the usefulness of the stem cells of an aborted fetus can be.

Stem cells are like children. They have yet to decide what they want to do with their lives. This allows scientists to exploit them for medical use. With stem cells, they couldd possibly create blood for transfusions, or regrow limbs.

Scientists cannot research this easily though due to the fact that stem cells are extremely hard to get, and are most commonly taken from aborted embryos. The issue with this is that they are dependant on abortions for their test samples.

But in your opinion, despite the massive benifits of stem cell research, do you support it? Or are you waiting until they find another way of producing stem cells.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Oh their god, Westboro is... I'm not gonna say anything. -.-

But, I do support Stem-Research. It's study is limited, though, due to government and other regulations.

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

Yeah, they're just too extreme. They protest EVERYTHING. -.-

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

want to post a link to an artickle please, if you can.

Where there is light, there is always darkness.

I support it.. they might as well use them for something. And stem cell research can help a lot of people. Also therapeutic cloning..

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

Well, most of my dsipaint activity occurs on a dsi, so I would appreciate somebody posting an article about stem cells here.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Damn, on DSi now. -.-

@Neon: Therapeutic Cloning? "Hmm, I'm really stressed right now... Think I might grab some Stem Cells and clone for a bit. o3o"

Whoa bro, better slow down bro, don't wanna be a bro, bro.

And why is that?

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Why wud ppl not like reasercherz.

tanya: medication is unnatural, a lot of breeds of animals are unnatural, breathing machines are unnatural, inhalers are unnatural, organ transplants are unnatural, your point..? I think you'd feel differently if you or somebody you knew had something that could possibly be fixed by stem cell research.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT STAIRS, BRO!

Embryonic stem cells have not cured any diseases. They are rejected by the recipient's body in every test case. Adult stem cells, on the other hand, have treated many diseases. Unfortunately, they are in considerably lower density than needed for mass usage. Once technology advances to where adult stem cells can be harvested more easily from marrow, blood, skin, etc., embryonic research will no longer have a purpose, aside from placental stem cells. It's unfortunate that politicians use stem cells as a tool to buy votes and lobby for money.

I'm predestined to have free will.

1. It's not naturally occurring.
2. Plastic can only be made synthetically.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

The definition of unnatural is something that cannot be made abiotically.

Also, if you lost an arm, wouldn't you like to have a new one to replace it?

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Well, lots of people don't want to be treated like they're "special" just because they're missing a limb. They want to be normal. They want to be able to do what they could when they still had their arm.

Also, "based on a true story" means that they got a true story and made it look dramatic for the cinema.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

And it's her loss that she doesn't have an arm. But most disabled people disagree with her.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Have you? It's common knowledge that not having an arm is a bad thing.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Prove to me that disabled people enjoy being disabled.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Well, for starters, do you see people chopping their arms off on purpose? I think not.

Does being permanently constrained by a disability seem like something to be jolly about? Does pain seem like a great thing to you?

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

But given the chance, they would want their limbs back.

Goodbye my only friend. Oh, did you think I meant you?

Therapeutic Cloning

↑↑↑↑ read it
I think it's a good idea. It has already been able to repair parts of the spinal cord in lab rats, and given them control over their lower body again, and it has the potential to cure diabetes, which millions of people have.
