The truth about stem cell science

[oran6es]

............ and when you run out of the spares?

............ and how is a spare embryo any less human than the non-spare embryo?

[errskin]

you know its bullshit when somebody calls their claim "the truth"

[oran6es]

The crux of stem cell therapy is to own human beings in early development, destroy them, grow the cells in dishes separately, allowing them to differentiate( 9 months or so), then sell them for implantation into other human beings.

From one physician to another, please consider:

It is a violation of the hippocratic oath

It is an expensive form of cannibalism

Corporations should not own human beings at any stage of their life cycle.

[RCDeschene]

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

The thing is, Stem Cell Reserch works with the Stem Cells of unborn fetuses, which are pretty much abortion donations...

[Forlo12345]

@RCDeschene Not aborted fetuses. Aborted embryos. hESC's are cultured and derived from the inner cell mass of 5-day old blastocysts, long before it's even implanted in the uterus.

[RCDeschene]

@Forlo12345 Ahh, i see.

[RCDeschene]

Conservative as in one prefers the traditional Christian anti-gay, anti-abortion, War-over-Words standards. Pretty much the Republican party.

[RCDeschene]

Ahh! I see.

That's alright. I know what you mean. I take it your folks are a bit conservative?

[RCDeschene]

What sin? That we want find ways to develope actual treatments for all these timeless diseases and disorders that plauge us? To improve human medicine to levels that will actually help people?

[oran6es]

Sorry, such research violates the world medical declaration of Helsinki regarding ethical principals for medical research involving human subjects. " In medical research involving human subjects, the well-being of the individual research subject must take precedence over all other interests." That's #5 of 35 statements in this declaration. Google it. Read it. Understand it.

[RCDeschene]

Well, apperently our new political system thinks otherwise...

[RCDeschene]

Becomeing? We've BEEN our own worst disease since mankind has existed. And we don't need political ethics for that, my friend... ;)

[blackmatt78]

this isnt the truth. this guy has been paid to talk this way. theres nothing this country has done ethical, moral or honest. this is a commercial to get us to except it. check out the movie gattaca and you will see how they will once again control the pple.

[RCDeschene]

You might as well learn to accept it. Because now its here and hear to stay this time.

[sondano]

@blackmatt78 wow people controlling people? tell me something new

[Cookiecutter87]

@blackmatt78 I am not saying that people are not controlled by goverments, but realistically the movie "Gattaca" does not count as actual evidence for or against this belief.
