When I see religious people bashing this, I wonder what they'd do if it would save their children? Everything is of God the Source. There's no "OLD MAN"! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 594943They say they are only going to use them from unwanted embryos from fertility clinics. They are already using stem cells from the chord/placenta. |

Your attitude makes ME sick. When you can separate yourself from those falsely implanted notions and emotions you'll be able to see that this is one of the best things that could ever happen to advance our medical sciences. I suppose you could just tell quadriplegics that the idea of Stem Cells make you sick, they might feel some small amount of pity for you and agree to pass on a chance to walk again or hug their children or parents or pass on the chance to get out of adult diapers and wipe their own ass again. After all the little emotions of the OP and people like the OP should matter more than being able to walk again. |

It's NOT about the stem cells. And for all the lefties, atheists and people for whom science is their religion, really, do you think the government is suddenly into doing good things for the people? Idiots. |

Maybe what ever it is that makes you feel sick can be cured by the stem cell research. This has the potential to save lives, help cure people, etc, don't let your bullshit religious beliefs lead you further down the road to ignorance. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 604395 United States 03/09/2009 11:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Basic Anatomy Lesson on stem cells: Stem cells have potential to become cells and/or tissue. The potential for becoming certain cells depends on their type. We have many different cells responsible for the make up of our body. Embryonic stem cells are: Totipotent cells: can become any type of cell. Pluripotent: can become most, but not all types of cells. The only cells it is not capable of are those of the placenta, which is produced by the totipotent cells. *These are found in the umbilical cord, hence why some moms are choosing to keep these. Adult stem cells are: Multipotent: can become several types of cells (found typically in adult tissue ie: cardiac, neural, and bone marrow stem cells.) Unipotent: can become one specialized cell- have the ability to self renew, which is the major characteristic of a stem cell. Hence why stem cells are sought after. Adults have multipotent cells which eventually turn into unipotent cells (which are found in our tissue, and can yeild a specific cell). For example, the epithelium (the outermost skin layer.) The problem with unipotent and multipotent is it is specific (cannot develop into multiple cells)and they are rare. The zygote/embryo consists of far more. The capability to produce totipotent or pluripotent in adults is not possible, naturally. Since the have already produced all the organs and tissues necessary for life, we have no use for them. The idea is that they will use embryos left over from in vitro fertilization that would normally be destroyed (for now anyway), which are producing daughter calls (thus DNA). The cells can potentially become tissue, or anything else necessary, since they are totipotent (or multipotent). The hope is cancer- which is a mutation in DNA- will be cured. There are also a lot of other high hopes for stem cell research, such as cardiac tissue regeneration, etc. MY PROBLEM lies with in vitro fertilization, and everything else that is playing God. It is not a good thing. Just like designer babies and everything else. We are not immortal. Manipulating life to extend our selfish, worthless existance is ridiculous. The only perfect beings are babies, they are the closest thing to God. And we are destroying them to save our pathetic lives. Take anatomy, learn how the body works. It's an amazing machine. The most incredible thing in the universe. Yet, we try to improve upon perfection. A majority of illnesses have been created by our inability to deal with the fact that everyone dies. This world will turn into one of those movies where everyone has petri dish babies that are tested for their genetic potential. If they are not up to code, they will be destroyed and used to heal some 200 year old selfish person. It's a downward spiral. |

But, there area people who are moist over this because they see it as a small triumph of science over religion. Me, I don't care about that as I see science as just another religion. The idiots that are moist over this decision really are out of touch with reality. There's NO MONEY in curing cancer or any other disease in which the medical industry reaps great profit. |

Soon Diseases will be extinct and wiped off the face of the earth and everyone will live a thousand years. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 629453But if we cure diseases what will prevent overpopulation? Diseases are good because the cull the herd, so that there are more natural resources left for the survivors. The last thing we need on this planet is more humans (or humans who live longer) to fight with over limited resources. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 588839 United States 03/10/2009 12:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | First off, I am a person of faith. I believe in God and Jesus. That said, there is NOTHING wrong with us humans using our God given brains to discover a way to advance ourselves. Stem Cell research can save lives. It can give us humans hope to heal ourselves in ways we never dreamed. For Bush to have shut it down was to keep us human species locked up. We have EVERY right as a human being to use the resources we were given - our brains, knowledge and discoveries - to further our race/species. To say otherwise is just ridiculous! Come on people WAKE UP. Where in the bible does it say God wants us to stay in a box and not advance and heal ourselves? Yes, love and faith heals, too. God heals. Jesus used to lay his hands on people thousands of years ago and healed people. People of faith - do you not believe that everything that happens is MEANT to happen? Relax... put your efforts into getting angry over some other atrocity, like perhaps our corrupt government. Or poverty. Or the fact that we humans are living on a slave planet fueled by greed and consumerism. It's time we humans woke the HELL up and moved on to bigger and better things. |
