  • They have just found that embryonic stem cell therapy is working for those with macular degeneration. It was simply unconscionable what the supposed Christian George W. Bush did for petty political partisan points in Aug. 2001.

  • and aborted fetuses can also be used for stem cell research

  • I say ignore the fools who reject embryonic stem cell research.

  • Regardless of what political view you have Stemgevity works and is available on line.

  • I really don't see why people make such a big fuss about stem cell research. The government should fund this research so that evil corporations don't take hold of patents on cures for diseases.

  • powerbook g4 FTW

  • Fucking republicans. They have already decided that it is moral to kill babies in the Middle East, but show some squeamishness about destroying human embryos in a petri dish. Hell, man, once you decide to become a child-killer, their ages no longer matter. Or the numbers.

  • So much can be done with Adult Stem Cells now, why continue pushing such a controversial method of research?

  • Their point is: So much more can be done with these stem cells and they are just throwing them away, adult stem cells arnt even close to as useful.

    Its sad when religion and squemishness gets in the way of progress that could help millions.

  • @AdultStemCellsOnline Why should we limit ourselves? We should research all forms of stem cells.

  • I think its hypocritcal to throw away an enbryo when it can be used by science.

  • So is it okay to set up a corporation to kill inmates on death row, screen them for the "good organs" and transplant them into those patients with dire needs for such?

    I mean, the inmates won't get adopted, they're going to die anyway.

  • why are you so obsessed over a clump of cells???? Are you kidding me...it is not a child. It is not even a fetus.

  • We're all just a very organized clump of cells throughout our existence as individuals. Less developed does not mean less human. A newborn is no less human than a scientist.

  • No buddy...there is a world of diff between myself and a zygote that doesnt even have a body!! Gimme a break.

  • You as a zygote, blastocyst, fetus, newborn, child, adult. Different stage of development, same individual.

  • Same individual...not the same rights.....you are trying to protect something that is not even yet a human. It is a developing organism. Why shouldnt it be used? Your argument is pointless...there are real abortions going on, and you are arguing over a zygote.

  • Watch my video "teratoma monologue".

    It's not killed. It's separated into pieces and grown in separate dishes. Presto, a 2 year old "stem cell line" is nothing more than a 15 month old baby's parts growing in separate dishes, awaiting sale and distribution.

    Corporations should not own, control, or sell any humans at any stage of their life cycle, in whole or in part.

  • Glad you at least admitted it cannot be killed....however i dont have a problem with an outside party selling embryos..after all many couples give them to science anyway once their desired amt of eggs haveimplanted successfully.

  • I do.

    They should not "belong" to anyone.

  • Yeah who cares if lives will be saved by the research they do.

  • Except these zygotes are being thrown away in the trash to protect the 'sanctity of human life' instead of being use for research that could protect human life.

  • @olstar18

    not their fault they're being thrown away

  • Comment removed

  • Is it the fault of the medical researcher that his work is made harder by them being thrown away instead of put to use or is it the fault of the people the research could help.

  • No one is talking about a newborn.

  • What does that have to do with anything. More bs from someone that realizes that there is no actual argument that he can use.

  • Embryos are not babies folks..they have no neuro, circulatory system...It is life but hot yet human..it doesnt have the form yet....

  • Keep in mind embryos can be frozen, humans cannot be. They are not the same

  • What?

    Anything can be frozen.

    What criteria is that?

  • No humans cannot get frozen then used the way they do with embryos...they fact that they can be freezed then used says alot. Sciece will do alot.

  • What?

    You can be frozen and be used for research.

    Are you serious? Who's Sciece? Is he related to Obama?

  • Not what i meant you fool...try saying something more adult like...part of the fetus patrol huh???Go adopt one.

  • Point of clarification, please google"life cycle of a human being". The biological FACT is that an individual human being's existence begins as a zygote(within 24h of conception). This is not a religious opinion. It is a textbook fact. Anyone seeking Sammy Harris as a point of reference

    will be fed totally inaccurate BS and may as well drink the magic kool-aid and wait for spaceships for your rescue.

  • even if it is...we can still use it for research.

  • Strange how the word fact is only used by people making up shit to defend a screwed up viewpoint.

  • you satanic christians opening yer mouths again? here's why you are satan's whores.... because any cures that come from research using stem cells from embryos, of which you are against, YOU WILL RUSH TO THE HOSPITAL TO GET IF YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONES NEED IT. If you REALLY believe against embryonic stem cell research, then you will let yourself and your family DIE instead of taking cures developed from embryonic stem cell research.

  • Stop making surplus human embryos. I think that would be the answer because they have made a life when they introduce a sperm to an egg. It's the same thing as conception but out of the body and I believe life begins at conception.

  • No they don't.

  • They don't make surplus human embryos like on the video?

  • Yes, science does. But they are not "living" at the moment of conception - this is religious dualism. It is archaic, and bluntly, stupid. Revert to Sam Harris' argument for Stem Cell research (just put it in the search bar - "Sam Harris Stem Cell Research" - and you will get a beautiful argument against religious dualism and for the advocation of Stem Cell research. It is the most promising medicinal field in the history of medicine - anyone who thinks otherwise is a moron or a Catholic.

  • Sam Harris is well just let me say I disagree and leave it at that. Just because you call someone stupid and a moron for disagreeing doesn't make you anymore right than the next guy. I shouldn't have my tax money used to fund anything especially if I disagree with it. If it is so great the private sector can fund it. Most people that take your position are usually atheist or they think abortion is okay or whatever. I don't want to argue so go find somebody else if that's what you want to do.

  • I am Atheist, and I do believe in abortion. So far those are the only two correct statements you've made. My point was that the only reason you're taking a religious stance on something that has little to nothing to do with religion is because you're trying to impose your backwater religious beliefs on a medical practice that has enormous potential. I can almost guarentee that you're mildly delusional (generic christian).

  • Hey, don't think all Christians are like that. I think abortion is just, and stem cell research should happen. I challenge all religion with reason, logic, and science. Never believe anything. Only think about it, prove it, and know it. The message that should be spread to Christians.

  • They are, unfortunately. And besides, how do you expect to spread a message to them when they're too busy spreading their own?

  • Go fuck yourself

  • More humane to throw them away or chop them up then throw them away ? Prove that animal embryo stem cells can treat or cure any animal disease. In the meantime stop making surplus human embryos. They're not tadpoles, folks. The answers are more likely to be found in adult stem cells. Microscopic cannibalism will not take us very far.

  • You fools! It is in fact the Illuminati who decide the path and progress of this world!!

    THE ILLUMINATI CONTROL ALL!!!

  • Stem cell research can be used to cure the AIDS virus!

  • Bush is a DUMBASS! it passed the house and senet twice and he vetoed it twice. Its easy too say its wrong when you don't have the disease... I really hope he gets Parkinsons, its the only thing I pray for, and I'd bet he'd change his mind pretty F'ing quick!!!

  • haha benefits of stem cell outweights costs. I THINK

  • i wonder what Obama's policy on stem cells are

  • so read up on it

  • No they're not. The embryos aren't donated unless the owner (usually the couple that had them created) specifically says they can be. Looks like YOU'RE the ignorant one here.

  • @PeculiarPaul It's the act of human ownership that I question. Does a corporation have the right to own and misuse another living human with the expressed intent of converting said human into a marketable commodity?

  • "Embryonic stem cells, unlike adult stem cells, cannot be used directly in therapy because they cause cancer. Indeed, one laboratory test for embryonic stem cells is to inject them into mice and analyse the teratoma (a tumour formed of foetal tissue) that arises."-Scientific American. BTW: Nothing is stopping the embryos from being donated. Embryonic stem cell supporters are ignorant kool-aid drinkers.

  • you mean truth?

  • I think maybe you've misunderstood. Im sick of right-wing propaganda too. Whether it's a video like this or something from one these new earth creationists, im still sick of it. All the strawman, spin, dishonesty, BS. BS on all sides. Whether it's the anti-life lefties or the war-mongering right!!!!!

  • Wow I agree

  • It's not even classified as a human when they extract the stem cells. it's a zygote. Get the hell over it and lets cure some horrible disease that YOU have probably never experienced.

  • RU retarded? It's a human and a zygote. Any and all books on embryology explain that life begins at amphymixis (or when egg is activated) and a zygote the first stage ... before the cell divides (so these aren't zygotes, either.) Frogs. Works. Their 1st stage is a zygote. From textbook Essentials of Human Embryology: "This fertilized ovum, known as a zygote, is a large diploid cell that is the beginning, or primordium, of a human being." Geez, hES researcher supporters are so ignorant.

  • until the 14th day the cells in the morula can split and form identical twins, so now are we talking about a person, a group of people, a potential person or a potential group of people.

    Those are just cells with great differentiation abilities,not people, because if we start considering people cells that have the potential to become an individual then you are committing a genocide every time you scratch your nose.

  • Day 14 is long past morula - the nervous system is developing and universally accepted as when no one should ever do embryo research - except Michigan's Prop 2. That goes beyond day 14 and would 'prohibit state and local regulation'. Ignorant embyronic supporters will pass it, even though in 10 yrs. no one will be doing embryonic research for cures - just use 'em for lab toys.

  • Any and all books explain that "life begins at amphymixis"? jesus christ above what kind of utter shit is this? did you hear that from a scientist you know at your church who lies to himself?

  • It's my field. I already sourced one embryology textbook - how many need I?  You're so brainwashed & closed minded you puke out *religion*. Well, it's not about religion. It's about fact. There aren't many extra embryos, making stem cells from them is difficult, and women have died donating them. Furthermore, embryonic are not better in practice, and induced pluripotent are the future of stem cell research. Of course, this is who needs facts when kevagonia has a comforting opinion.

  • wtf are you talking about? is it possible you've fucked up and mistaken someone else's comments for my own?

  • No. I'm confident the vulgar ignorant poster was you.

  • the one where I said read up on it? clarify.

  • There is no reason to NOT research this. The sanctity of life? More like a personal agenda, and a prevention of medical advancements in the US. The only people that would DARE oppose such a gift from, honestly, God, are the ignorant fucks that don't know their ass from their elbow and see it as testing on a human baby.

  • we wasted 8 years of research because of this idiot.

  • A group of idiots.

    I saw a survey where one of them was asked if they would save a child from a fire, or a tray full of fertilized eggs. They chose the tray!

  • A week and fundietard has 0 answers! OWNED!!

  • Fundietard gets dominated!!

    0 answers to ESCR cures I gave you

    0 answers to ESCR only being around for a few years

    0 statements about ESCR other than your sexual fantasies with other people's ugly-ass middle-aged moms

    FUNDIETARD DENIED

  • Libtard lies. I did answer

    Again, your claims are dismissed as libtards have lied several times about ESCR cures. Meanwhile ASCR and other ethical stem cell cures are steamrolling past the fraudulant ESCR machine that siphons billions, costs lives, and has 0 cures.

    I have answered on ESCR's age and conceeded point but your flawed judgement refuses to see ASCR has more promise and redirection of fed$ is costing lives.

    And don't knock her til you rock her! Libtard mums have hearts too.

  • this will make you feel sick to be an american watch?v=eNGSyACeY8A

  • Not sure if you folks heard, but yourmumisadick lost his daddy and I was there for his mom. Now this has hurt yourmumisadick's sister. See, she was dating a NAMBLA member and he dumped her.

    The NAMBLAtard found out she was a virgin and his words "If you're not good enough for your father, you are noot good enough for me".

    Now I tried to prevent this, but yourmumisadick's mama had me so whipped.

    Come back for more; I beg you!

    Dominated! Owned! DisssssMissed!

  • ok now i know your not a virgin, you must be a gay! sorry mate!

  • you know what mate you must be so lonely to be doin this all day, i dont even know what a "libtard" is. i am english and in england we dont have what you yanks call " the dream" the "american dream" you know why? cos we are awake!. peace! and by the way, i hope you get laid beacuse otherwise your no hope to the human race!

  • "you.. doin this all day" Libtard has never heard of posting limits "i dont even know what a "libtard" is" Libtards - too stupid to research urbandictionary "i am english and in england" A Eurotard that lost to US twice "we dont have the dream" yeah, you have surrendered your culture 10% class, 30% Brit haters, 60% trash "peace" to you to, tell ur mum hi bhich!
  • you know 5% of americans cant even point their own country out on a map, thats not peanuts thats millions,lol. and to be honest your just another dumb american. what do you mean by we surrendered our culture, to who? i speak english and so do you, you speak my language and libtard is not in my dictionary.

  • "cant" isn't either.

    You might speak English, but you can't write it, and though your ancestors tried and got beat twice, you can do nothing about my freedom of speech.

    You are dismissed!

  • lol we lost more soldiers to american friendly fire in iraq than we have to the iraqi's.

  • libtard retreats on English.

    libtard cheers for terrorists as libtards spat on JFK's troops 40 years ago.

    I was debating another Obamatard and he lied when he said liberals don't hate our troops. You are proof that libtards hate our troops and rejoice in their injury.

    Thanks... Of course the ignorant liberal will think that you are a Republican pretending to be a liberal cause no libtard would hate our troops right?

    Dominated! Owned! DisssssMissed!

  • The best way to tell the Bush that you are stronger than him is by buying stock in companies like Advanced Cell Technologies ACTC.ob

  • MoBushin04, why do you keep saying 0 answers? I just gave you an answer. You said ESCR has 0 cures, but that's not true, as I just said. It has cured paralysis in mice and is close to doing it for humans.

    Where's your answer to THAT?

  • And speakin of virgin

    George Bush, gets more than Clinton, and the presidents spouse.

    There's a food that decreases sex drive in liberal women - it's called wedding cake.

  • i think i hit a soft spot with you there, look to stop yourself from becoming the 40 year old virgin just pay for sex if you have to. look mate im only trying to help you.get of posting messages you little youtube warrior and get laid man.peace!

  • "40 y/o virgin"

    yeah, all of those other women before your mom, compared to your mom - they don't count. She told you I was a virgin? That kiss & teller. Those bi-mamas.

    But 1/2"er libtard still has:

    0 answers to Bush gets more

    0 answers to liberal women sex drive after marriage.

    Libtard dominated! Owned! DissssssMissed!

  • i think i owned you my friend, i have worked out that your a virgin and most probably never gonna get laid. all you can say back is something thats not true about my mum. l8rz virgin

  • Well of course you deny it, and you did win her in the end, but I heard you and your friend thru the paneling wall in your trailer listening to us.

    But all's well sport, while I was better than your daddy, she said I was best for her lez ways.

    hismumisanengorgedklit handed his ass!

  • words of a true virgin. or maybe your gay?

  • poor libtards, too stupid to debate fact and assumes that all Republicans are virgins or gay - something that describes libtards in marriage & civil unions.... Hehe, that's funny.

    The libtard bhich slapping continues.

    Come back for more; you won your mom back for sloppy seconds, and yes, I admit I miss her, but I own you!

  • You'll have to put those together, but...

    If we can cure paralyzed mice, then letting paralyzed men and women walk again is just around the corner. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but within Baby Boomers' lifetime, yes. BOOM, straight from the article:

    "This research is seen as proof by scientists that one day paralyzed humans will be cured as a result of stem-cell grafts. It may be several years away, but the evidence that it will come is much more compelling now."

  • And speaking of doing simple Google searches, here's your proof that ESCR found a cure for paralyzed mice: medicalnewstoday . com / articles / 45641 . php

  • I'll give you an answer to when IIII was a "human life" (which I still am...hopefully). When I was a 4-day-old embryo, I was worthless, plain and simple. There, I said it. It's just an opinion of mine. There's no right or wrong. I simply do not value glasses of liquid as human life. So there is your ANSWER if you wanted it.

  • I don't give a hoot what they do with their cells but NO ONE should have the right to destroy you, a life at 4 days old even if it cures Ronald Reagan - those were his values, those are mine. And he was blessed with 90 years. You have 0 answers!

  • Libtard "you still have not shown National Review article"

    Better point -- links not allowed, posts limited to 500 characters, and it is challenging for ignorant liberals to google "National Review" pseudo embryo stem cell research

    Libtard "I'm sure you COULD write that welll in third grade."

    Better point -- don't ever teach me how to spell well again

    Libtard "ESCR unparalyzed a mouse"

    Better point -- you have no proof, how many tumors, ESCR history full of false claims but ASCR cures.

  • Libtard "I'm not going to fucking debate" "Bush's fault"

    Better point, you have no case

    0 answers to when were YOU a human life

    0 answers to how many cures

    0 answers to ASCR cures more and is less risky

    0 answers to ASCR does not harm receiver & are more stable

    0 answers to ten other great "0 answer" points

  • Yoourmumisadick, I had your mom, that was a clit. She said I was better than your dad, but don't get mad my owned tard, she said your 1/2" was best for her lez ways.

    If you are considering what dead human embryos could have done for President Reagan, perhaps you should let him speak for himself:

  • you know what you should consider, not talkin shit like a loser on a computer all day and try to get laid, cos if there is one thing we both know its that your a virgin

  • "Virgin"

    I had your mother you ignorant libtard. She said I was better than your father. Much better. But don't get mad son, she said your 1/2" member was best for her lez ways.

    Come back for more you ignorant libtard; I own you.

    0 answers to 0 cures & billions spent

    0 answers to when were you a human life

    Libtards need to learn to debate. They fail to mix point with humor and they whine way too much.

  • i hope all you cunts that are against stem cell research get parkinsons disease like my old man and has to live with everday. im sure you would change your mind then

  • And by the way, since you refuse to say anything other than "OMGZ 0 ANSWERS O CURES" I'll tell you right now that you're wrong, ESCR has produced cures; we've already cured paralysis in mice, so humans are right on the way.

    But if you want a "cure", there you have it. Paralyzed mice.

  • I don't know where you got "sentence for sentence" from...

    Anyway, if you'd like to actually answer MY questions which you DIDN'T answer sentence, for sentence, I will happily take a look at whatever National Review article you want to show me, which you haven't so far.

    Again, I ask, how long have we had ASCR? How long have we had ESCR? How long has each one been well-funded? How on earth can you consider an embryo consisting of no more than 100 cells in a petri dish human?

  • I'm not going to fucking debate with you if you keep typing in that fashion. Address my points or stop talking to me. For the last time, stem cell research has only been around for 9 years, 6 of which were squashed by Bush taking away federal funding. You can't just repeat the same sentence over and over again without any reference to what I said and then put down MY debating skills. So for real, stop doing this "0 cures and 0 answers" shit. I'm sure you COULD write that welll in third grade.

  • I answer/own libtards sentence for sentence but Peculiar "Liar" Paul refuses to extend same courtesy, weaking his immature debating skills:

  • Libtard "First, I don't spend my entire day on the internet"

    Who said you did?

    Libtard "you didn't give me a chance to respond"

    You failed to give yourself a chance to respond, your attempts to blame me for your inaction are dismissed!

  • Libtard "if you're going to try to call me a "liberal retard", which I assume is what "libtard" stands for, it would probably help your case if you could write completely sentences."

    Repub "completely sentences"... teeny bopper.... demand a refund on your EDU and never ever compare us again. In 3rd grade, I could write better than that. You are a child, an ignorant whiney one, and your sentence above is FUBAR.

  • I can tootttally answer all those questions if you decide to duck after I dominated you in your face!!

  • Next, I love how you totally didn't respond to a singe thing I said. fundietard rambles for 4 paragraphs but fails to admit the truth!1!111 Fundietard, tell everybody how many pain recepters for:

    A chicken

    A 4-day-old embryo

    Next, tell us how many years we've had:

    ASCR

    ESCR

    federal funding for both

    See, I can play this game too!!!

    BTW, that was a typo when I said "ESCR does not destroy civil rights." I meant to say human life, not civil rights. Freudian slip.

  • I can't understand what the fuck you're saying when all you say is "libtard says lies and libtard fails!11!1!1 LOL ZOMG HAHA heh ehehehehehe".

  • Hey MoBushin04, what's up...couple of things.

    First, I don't spend my entire day on the internet, pretend like I backed down from my position and say stupid shit like "9 hours lateer and 0 answers and 0 cures!11!1!", because you didn't give me a chance to respond, k? K.

    Second of all, if you're going to try to call me a "liberal retard", which I assume is what "libtard" stands for, it would probably help your case if you could write completely sentences.

  • Why I call godless libtards fascist

    Fascism is a political philosophy or regime (such as your athiest heros Mao/Stalin or agnostic hero Hitler that killed 100M+)

    That exalts a nation above individuals (such as fascist libtards socializing medicine)

    That stands for a centralized autocratic government (fascist libtards don't cut taxes and move things to states)

  • Now you are just being hatefull...

    No reason to keep debating with someone like you because, anyway, no one would listen to such talking on the public place, even people on your side.

    Cya!

  • Hugo, Your post is more libtard ignorance. Hate is a libtard value, I don't hate you, but I can show you fellow tards that do hate me, our troops, people of religion, etc - all liberal bigots. And yet, another post from you with 0 answers to how many cures for ESCR How many ASCR cures? How many PluriPotent cures? How many other countries did research for past 6 years?? How many billions spent? You also retreat on fascism; 0 ANSWERS = OWNED!
  • You don't seem to understand that finding cures takes time effort and money. Six years just isn't that long, especially with little funding. I find it odd that conservatives are so cavalier about spending money and sacraficing lives when it comes to the Iraq war, but medical research is just too much for them.

  • Headed by a dictorial leader (libtards lost twice -- search for Gore & concession)

    Severe economic & social regimentation (fascist libtards reduced tax rebates & fascist libtards want draft)

    And forcible suppression of opposition (fascist libtards having their way refusing to Constitutionally Advise & Concent executive appointed judges)

  • 9 hours later, libtard owned with 0 answers & 0 cures.

    They just make up BS like "ESCR does not destroy civil rights". I googled "ESCR destroys civil rights" and no one has ever said that. Yet I challenge him and dominate him in his face "0 answers", he ducks.

    Libtard steamrolled!

  • Libtard rambles 4 paragraphs of lies but fails to admit the truth: Libtard, tell everyone how many cures for: ESCR ASCR PluriPotent My ignorant fascist bhich next blames Bush. What a stupid excuse. How many other countries did research you ignorant liar? How many billions spent? Kerry made promises? How many ASCR cures? How many PluriPotent cures? 0 ANSWERS = OWNED! The libtard cannot and will not dispute the facts.
  • more libtard lies - they want much more than these eggs

    any lives saved by ESCR?

    was John Kerry right when he said cures coming soon in 2004?

    ASCR cures for 6 yrs - ESCR does not

    how much do these people make off ESCR

    ESCR - billions wasted in a dozen countries with 0 cures

    how many make more than Bush off ESCR - big time conflict of interest - many have made millions without producing any cure

    libtards have 0 answers

  • You're funny.

    Because you are pathetic.

    Religion is the only reason why people have to fight for their right to do stem cell research.

    It's not like they are killing babies (which is legal anyway), they are just using CELLs. Did you ever kill a spider? I hope not, you'll go to hell!! (sarcasm, in case you're too dumb to get it.)

  • What's pathetic is being uncivil & destroying human life as research material.

    And protesting how KFC processes chicken while being ignorant how fascist abortion doctors process unborn children, see watch?v=QBOAPleF1t0&e

    Libtard retreats on $20B spent in 12 nations & 0 cures.

    0 answers to govt research better spent on Adult SCR or PluriPotent research

    0 answers to National Review calling ESCR PseudoScience

    Why do you support this unethical fraud & waste?

    Libtard OWNED on ESCR!

  • You're a fucking idiot. That entire post makes no sense whatsoever. Get the real facts.

    1. ESCR does not destroy civil rights. They are 4-DAY-OLD EMBRYOS. As you would have seen if you had watched the video, they are microscopic or at the very least LIQUID IN A PETRI DISH. You think that's human life? Really? You think that has more value than grown human beings suffering with diseases? If you do, you're simply out of your fucking mind, and there's no way else to put it. Moving on...

  • 2. Petri dishes, oh excuse me, "human embryos", cannot suffer. This is simply a scientific fact. They do not have organs, brains, limbs, eyes, nervous systems, you know... ANYTHING REMOTELY HUMAN. Chickens on KFC farms can suffer ENORMOUSLY. They have nervous systems and are fully conscious beings that can suffer pain. Since embryos are neither conscious nor have a nervous system nor consist or anything more than LIQUID, they cannot suffer. Therefore, your point about KFC is absolutely absurd.

  • 3. Embryonic stem cell research has only been around for less than a decade, and thanks to the Bush Administration, hasn't made any progress in the last 6 years of that decade. Saying that it hasn't found a cure yet while adult stem cell research has is kind of like saying the HPV vaccine hasn't worked yet since women still have cervical cancer. Oh wait...I wouldn't be surprised if you right-wing Christians actually DID say something that stupid.

  • 4. I don't give a rat's ass what the National Review said, they're not scientists. Scientists wouldn't be doing it if they didn't think it could find a cure. I know this may come as a surprise to you, but...scientists aren't just evil atheists who like killing babies!! They're normal people who have scientific degrees and understand basic science, unlike *cough cough*, some people. *coughintelligentdesigncough*

  • Thanks PeculiarPaul

    ;)

  • Hegopelland, an ignorant libtard and my bhich at EDU. You are a libtard, you come from inferior performing school systems. 75% Bush counties own ALL blue states in EDU. You cannot and will not dispute that.

    Name your standardized score, your kids. I will do same and $20 says my scores and my kids scores OWN you & your ACLU educated kids.

    You cannot and will not dispute the facts.

    Elitist pretender libtard handed his ass & has no cures!

  • i hope you get parkinsons then you would be praying for a stem cell cure trust me

  • why do i give a fuck what an american president sez i listen to michael j fox and mohammed ali

  • I have a eye disease called glaucoma.

    And I want to be healed one day. Politicians must allow stem cell research. Many 100 Mio. people suffer every day!

  • Professor Harry Quigley, from the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins Medical Centre in Baltimore has been running clinical trials using patients own stem cells (published in Nature) Another Nature study states, "In vivo, oncomodulin released from microspheres promotes regeneration in the mature rat optic nerve." Embryonic stem cells form tumors, so really aren't the answer here. Stem cell research is allowed and well funded in US ($40million annually for embryonic). Don't believe the hype.

  • this video is great ... stem cell work is very needed... the US government sucks... and is a pice of garbage for not supporting stem cells

  • Actually bush took a perfect "politicians answer" to stem cells.

    He didn't ban them, and actually approved the use of the already created ones up to a certain date; but said that he wouldn't condone federal funding for them.

    the Christians dont care about the lives that could be saved or the killing of dead babies They fear the consequences, god cant cure amputees but stem cells could.

    There is also the recklessness that will occur. i lose my leg riding a motorcycle 200mph; i can grow a new one!

  • The Bush veto was to protect the giants in the pill industry. Bush has no morals, anything for big business. This veto wasn't because he cares for embryo's! The money is in the treatment not the cure. Again the non-elected president makes a stupid mistake. Has he done anything right in 7 years? Nada, not one single thing,

  • Big Pharma is who is pushing for embryonic stem cell funding, silly. They want to use them for drug testing. (They are poor candidates for actual therapies as they cause tumors and are rejected by subject.) Just because you don't like the guy doesn't mean you should shut off your brain.

  • The price of an illegal war: $3 trillion. The price of dropping bombs on "evil" Iraqis: Hell. The price of getting terminally ill patients to believe God loves them: priceless, you're the new Satan.

  • It's not gonna get used, so what the hell is the problem with doing research with it. It has awesome implications. Some idiots would rather waste life and throw them in the trash.

  • How incredibly stupid. The president should be having this conversation with NASA. The United States is spending billions of dollars into researching outer space and all for what? Congratulations you made it to the Moon and there could be life on Mars - BIG FUCKING DEAL! Every last cent of that money is incomparably better spent on stem cell research and other health based research which should have neither limitations nor corruption. FUCK SPACE: CURE LIFE THREATENING AND DESTROYING CONDITIONS!

  • Haha...

    NASA doesnt get 1/2 what the military is wasting on war in iraq.

  • Nasa actually gets 1/500th (aproximiatly) the amount of money.

  • Stem Cell research would be able to decrease the amount of birth defects such as Down Syndrome, Cystic Fibrosis, Autism, Tumors, Autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's, etc.

    Now how would that be a hindrance to the United State?

    Oh I forgot, the separation of church and government clouds scientific reasoning. Carry on.

  • garvey im glad u made this video.

    But the acting is terrible.

  • lol, yes, acting is bad; but it's an even better proof the video is not fake ;)

    (or at least the message is not fake for sure)

    GREAT VIDEO!

  • philo you are a moron, listen to yourself you sound like you've been reading to many comic books.

    I am in favour of stem cell research all the way.

    Anyone who opposes this feild of research is a fool.

    There was a young girl who was in a car crash at 16 and ended up a quadraplegic.

    A beautiful young girl in the prime of her life then bang,dependant on other people to do everything.ut thanks to stem cell research they implanted her own stem cells in that damaged spinal chord. She can now walk.

  • Im pretty confused on my view of stem cell research and i have to write a paper on it, so i need some thoughts on the religious side like what are the views of some religious people ? I dont fully understand the concept of taking human embryos and then what ?

  • religious...

    you should write that religion doesent have anything to say on this matter, its not their job to do the thinking

  • genius video.

    Loved it.

  • very awesome

  • eventually the cloning of the embryos will lead to the cloning off people. more people will get hurt than saved. it is to un safe to risk, 1 out of 100 survive and thats only with animals...

  • rubbish at the end of the day if they can develop their understanding of genetics far enough they will be able to heal people with terminal illnesses or better yet prevent future generations from suffering these dieseases, at the end of the day u can call it playing god and what have you, but centuries ago people did far worse things to bring medical knowledge to the level it is at today, and just imagine where we would be without that knowledge now?

  • How the fuck did you get that idea?

  • Here Here!!!

  • They recently grew a new jawbone inside patients abdominal muscle here @ IMT Tampere, Finland ... where my GF studies also... it was then successfully installed to patient, and that is just a beginning... research on stem cells helps alot of people, and anyone who thinks its unethical will change their minds when they got some kind of disease

  • I really need this for a presentation, if I can have this in a downloadable format I will be in your debt forever. Please, you have to help me. You can help me save my grade.

  • dude. youtube downloaders are everywhere..

  • dvdvideo soft (dot) com.

    has

    freeware programs for dl stuff off utube.

    ( how i dl music off utube [: )

  • stem cell research bad,dropping 500lb bombs on people good.

  • stem cell research bad,dropping 500 lb bombs on people good.

  • religious dipshits say its immorral to kill a stem cell to save millions of lives.i say it is immorral to let people suffer.when you are in the army one life to save many is worth it the same is for stem cells.

  • i say its immoral for a religion to dictate the future of ur country...

    stem cell reasearch is practiced everywhere

    pattents will come and US will fall more behind that it already is

  • What do they do w/ those cells if ever they're allowed to study it? Do they like make those cells grow into fetuses and study the cell structure from that, or they just study them as very tiny cell? For if they grow them into living fetuses then study them, then I would be against it.

  • embryonic stem cells used for stem-cell research are from embryos that were fertilized through in vitro (outside of a woman's body). when the embryos are "no longer needed" they are donated for research. scientists take a few cells from the embryo and DISCARD the remainder of it, put the kept cells on a dish and allow for cell division to take place, exponentially creating more stem cells. there are new studies going on,that don't harm embryos. i only know this because i'm writing a paper on it.

  • If that is the case, then I am for it. It's not like their killing live babies for experiment. As the video here shows, they just put those cells in the trash anyway. Might as well put them in good use. Good luck on your studies. I hope you do well =)

  • thanks a lot! im scheduled to give a speech about embryonic stem cell research next week. there's so much more information out there that would give people a clearer view of what the conflicts were/are regarding this study. there's a (republican) newspaper that puts a positive spin on bush's decision to limit federal funding - it forced scientists to find an alternative - from the study of fetal cells from a placenta - to reprogramming adult stem cells to act just like embryonic stem cells.
