  • I'm an athiest. does that mean religion should be banned? nope. They say its an ethical issue, and maybe it is. but if there's a kid who's paralysed from the waist down shouldn't he be given the chance if he wanted, to recieve a stem cell implant? Not giving a child the chance to live as easily as us is an ethical issue far more serious than "killing" embyro's.

  • I guess every ejaculation is genocide then... 

  • @OptimalElement EXACTLY

    

  • The argument is often made that the creation of Hesc involves the "destruction" of an embryo.

    I disagree. It involves the "transformation" of an embryo, and in that transformed state those human cells live on for the betterment of mankind.

    What DOES destroy an embryo is a couple's decision to have extra IVF embryos thrown away or autoclaved.

    Is it not better to transform these valuable cells than it is to destroy them?

  • Fuck religion. Religion ruins EVERYTHING in this world. To think that most of these "Christians" and "Catholics" take medicine for their high BP/cancer/MS/Diabetes, etc... But they say doctors/biologists/scientists are "playing God". Welp, if 'God' gave them the disease, "who" are THEY to disagree with "him" and try to fix it? I can't believe we pay attention to these asshole-religious-hypocrites. (bring on the hate mail. I dare you)

  • How can we resolve the moral dilemma? It's easy. Just realize that the entire 'debate' is a laughable joke perpetuated by religious nut-jobs who have not the faintest understanding of the biology involved. Proceed to laugh hysterically at their idiocy and engage in ridicule.

  • You ask, "how can we resolve the moral dilemma?". If you research Advanced Cell Technology, you'll find they have their patented "Blastomere" technique which enables them to extract a hESC without harming the embryo.

  • awesome! do u mind if i use some info from this for a biol paper? of course ill cite u :)

  • @sobutterfly1 Go for it! There are also a few references at the end of the video.
