Now no one has a legitimate argument over the use of stem cells, if they can be obtained from unfertilized eggs that would be otherwise flushed. Come on now, these stem cells are not coming from fetuses... if an unfertilized egg is considered life, does that mean all women must have unprotected sex once a month from they day of there first period to avoid reckless abandonment charges? And any guy that ejaculates without targeting an egg also reckless abandonment?
It's great to see all these people in favor of stem cell research. However, the fact that this was in New York likely biased it, and I wouldn't be surprised if a majority in more conservative parts were against it.
I don't know where in the bible it says to not grow hearts and lungs lol. I think as long as were not cloneing people and just organs,bones etc. its totally fine and very useful :). I'm a Christian btw :D
FUCK YEAH!!! Who cares if its from pussy? It has the potential to save lives, and that's all that matters. Now I wanna know. if you're a woman, like this if you feel blessed knowing your vagina can save lives.
Stem cell research has not been legalized because many people feel it is morally wrong to use the egg since it has already been fertilized. However, stem cell research has the capabilities to provide people with NEW eyes, brains, bones, and even hearts. Cloning uses copies of old cells...which are weaker and die just as fast if not faster because old cells gradually lose their ability to fix mistakes made in DNA that carries out basic life processes.
The purest form of stem cells are found in a fertilized egg (which is one female's egg+one male's sperm). As previously stated, fertilized eggs usually form babies after 9 months of ovulation while in a mother's womb, but the question remains at which prenatal stage do we consider the fertilized egg a living soul.
Basically, that means that trillions of sperm are simply wasted.
Similarly, the female human body is capable of making around 400 eggs. Most women with normal menstrual cycles release only one egg every month. This egg is only used when it becomes fertilized by a male (thus, she becomes pregnant) That means, one egg is wasted by every women with a menstrual cycle in the world every month until she reaches the last of her eggs ( thus, menopause).
I approve of stem cell research. I am a teenager, and I believe in God.
Men begin making sperm at young ages, and they continue releasing old sperm and replacing them with millions more sperm daily for most of their lives.
i don't agree with abortion if your one of those kind of women who keep laying down opening your legs and not using any protection and every time you get pregnant you run and get an abortion, thats not cool but on the other hand, i'd rather see a woman get an abortion and get rid of a child she don't won't than kill it when it arrives in this world cause she didn't want it in the first place, thats harsher than abortion cause thats a living breathing, being now, that didn't ask to be here
Instead of pads and tampons, you can use a menstrual cup for your period. They also use them to collect menstrual blood for stem cell research. If you don't know what they are, you can watch my videos. For many women, they help with cramps too.
We should, and WILL, do whatever we can...and that's just the way it is...and THAT is good. Science is good, and religion is on the way out, if humans last long enough, that is.
Abortion is legal, so why shouldn't stem cell research be? If you give scientists the chance to further explore the method, you would be able to repair all kinds of tissue damages, and people with a damaged spinal cord or something would be able to live a normal life again.
nd im not against it.. jus ppl need 2 kno the subject before dey say shit.. nd i dont kno shit bout the fuckin stem cell shit.. but i kno they aint makin no cures for the human living heart or anything else by testin it on fake shit.. thats jus common sense.. listen 2 da song channel zero by cannabis haha.. listen 2 da lyrics
oh ye they dont use animals !!! lmao they use it on artificial hearts nd shit.. thats gonna lead 2 a solution 2 the real thing.. come on lady.. please.. motherfucker you cant get a real answer unless you experiment wit the real thing.. you cant say you have a cure for the human heart desiese jus cuz it works wit lab rats nd shit.. its like makin a paper ball nd injecting it wit sum solution nd den sayin its progress.. der r always sacrifices..

you should of asked all the men " would you fuck a women when she is on her period?" i have fucked lots of women during there period you girls are all horny when you are bleeding.
I wonder why people are against the use of aborted fetuses? Can anybody enlighten me why people or with which arguments people are against this. They have been aborted, so they will be "thrown" away, so why can't scientist take the valuable cells from it that can cure spinal cord injuries or any type of tissue damage?
I enjoy theresident's enthusiasm on the issue, but I think it's troublesome that she asks the opinion of people that do not have any idea about the issue. You shouldn't give people basic information on such a complex issue (like the first interviewee), then ask them to give his opinion based on that amount of information. To then take the issue to: are you grossed out by menstrual blood,oversimplifies. I hope people take any video about stem cells and take their research beyond youtube.

i am against embryonic stem cell research, but! if this is for real and scientists have found a way to harvest stem cells from other places like from a chick's period then i say full steam ahead even though it may seem gross because it could and probably will save lives
why would i be against heart transplants? ... its just that my definition of life is it begings at conception, i just use terms like fetus' and haresting so that ppl wont freak but to me its killing a unborn baby... get mad at me if you want haha, i dont care
The big ethical dilemma in this case is are you willing to let people die of diseases that can be cured with stem cells to save face with a god who may not exist, and when you realize what year it is thats just plain silly.
Holy crap you guys, thanks for respecting my opinion so much, and thanks for taking every thing wrong I said, like "yellowflowers", that is totally not what I meant, didn't I say helping people is right- oh yeah I did, so thank you.
Who give a flying rat's fart about some words supposedly said by some supposedly divine guy 3000 years? Science is science, knowledge is knowledge, whether it's beneficial or harmful, what will happen is going to happen. The whole pro vs against thing is a complete waste of time.
This video dissappoints me. I can not believe how many people think abortion is right and stem cell research is for the greater good. I mean of course you wanna help people, I am not saying that. but I just think it is wrong to play God and it seems like it is leading to that. If people would read the bible more, they would know that playing God isn't a good idea.
Did you ever think that not everybody believes in God???????? So you saying that abortion or stem cell research is wrong because you think God says it's wrong is dumb!
yeah that's right CHARANE1988. Why don't you stop taking medicine for the rest of your life, and never schedule a medical appointment again. And if you have a loved one that is having a heart attack, or one that you just found unconscious and barely breathing. DON'T DO ANYTHING. Because that would be playing god, now wouldn't it be?
How is wanting to save peoples lives playing god. Isnt god about helping those in need and to help the sick, so why wouldn't we want to use stem cells.
I am absolutely NOT arguing with any of the points you've made, I agree that stem cell research is incredibly beneficial, but I'm curious to know, out of however many interviews you took, how many were against your point of view? Why not show those? You have a wonderful program and I absolutely enjoy tuning in and seeing new episodes, but showing the other side is okay too.
I consider the religious viewpoint of stem cell research [via embryonic harvesting] to be a valid opinion, and a good challenge for the scientific community. If they look in other directions, we could potentially come up with MANY alternatives for stem cell harvesting, and menstrual blood is just another option. Sometimes restrictions give us more opportunity for advancement.
I don't consider abortion good or bad in general. It's up to the mother and father, and my opinion should not convince them otherwise; thus should be the idea globally, but who's gonna stand up for Individuality when they feel their opinion is "the best?"
Overpopulation is a probable issue, and I feel that sometimes, we must accept death, rather than save a life.
Well, if you know the whole process of making stems cells out of menstrual blood, perhaps most of us won't be gross out. It's the same as "toilet to tap" program, even though the water treated is drinkable, but it won't go to the tap water, it goes to the river, where we get the water and then treated it for tap water.
I think it's very shallow to blame religion for opposition to embryonic stem cell research. You don't have to be religious to value and respect life, and realize that it's unnecessary to destroy embryos to harvest stem cells. Adult stem cells have been scientifically proven to be just as useful as embryonic stem cells. I think we need to be much for respectful of the power of science and technology, or else GATTACA will be a best-case scenario for our future.
I agree with you on both points. There are people out there that do not practice religion that also value and respect life. Also, in addition to adult stem cells, placental stem cell research has resulted in treatment of 80 diseases of children most notably anemia, leukemia, and lymphoma. (Source: The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society web site.)
I'm sure all of the German Doctors in Nazi Germany probably said the same thing during WWII. They were going to be killed anyway so why not do human experiments on them.
i dont disagrea. and think we should test on crimanals. let the bad help the good. but the fetuses were not killed foe stem cell they were aborted and going to be burned.
Theres disadvantages to this. People are going to be more careless with health... Who cares if I smoke a pack or two a day, I'll just have new lungs grown. Who cares if I drink too much and kill my liver, I'll have a new one grown! Its great for cancer and MS and many many other health problems, but it could be abused. Even worse example, I'll eat as much McDonalds as I want, if I get heart problems or have a heart attack, I'll just have 'em grow me a new one!
and it´s good to that alternative can help as much as embrion cells well i dunno how u call that....mmm...when the baby comes out and they take cells from the tube, well its good to know
These amoral corporations may or may not violate people's moral feelings about stem cells, fetus', menstrual blood or human replication...but we should all be outraged that they perpetuate economic slavery and medical care for the rich. That is inhuman.
I don't have anything against the science behind the research, but who is funding the science and why are they funding it...because curing people is big big big business. If people want to live cancer and disease free, let's invest in clean air water and food. Securing the sanctity of human life doesn't involve blocking technology, but it does involve taking down corporate profit machines that make their money from people who need help.
Goddamn it! Listen, the real reason to be against stem cell research is because it's a corporate medical machine product. Who do you think is going to have access to these technologies? Anyone that can pay.
Just wanted to tell you that I really support your show - it's smart without being overwhelming for people who may not know a lot about a certain issue. If you ever have time to respond, how did you get started? Anyways, great job!!
Yeah I dont see anything wrong with stem cell research. All these pious christians are nuts if they oppose it. Um but my only concern is exponential population growth. The earth is already becoming severly overpopulated. Historically speaking people do bad in large numbers...
I would be happy to make some money off my freakin period. However, I don't like Stem cell just because we already have a population problem and if we prolong life, population problems will just get worse. That sounds horrible, but it's true.
As for abortion, God definately isn't pleased by the fact they happen, but in certain instances they're neccessary.
Just so everyone knows, it's Chrstians like that (if they can so be called) who almost make me hesitate to mention my faith. I could go on about this, but there's a limit on comments.
Didn't he command humans to spread life across the planet?
Also, all of our actions are just carrying out God's ultimate plan. I believe if we start successfully cloning humans, we wouldn't be going against anything in this plan and we'd still be adding life to the planet. As long as they didn't use these clones for acts of violence, I'd be fine.
I am for looking for stem cells elswhere....but did you know that stem cells are also in the bone marrow? This has been known longer than the stem cell debate has been going on, so why do we still want to get cells from embryos? I am against embryonic stem cell research, but I'm all for the research in bone marrow and menstrual cells.
Really... this issue isnt about religion. Like the whole "abortion" thing. I'm against it, but not because of my religion... Its not like i think God will smite or anything. Same, with Stem cells. I'm still on the fence with it, it has nothing to do with my religion. Its more of the case of pushing the boundaries of moral/ethical standards. Though that one lady that was talking about "if your child was sick" made an excellent point. I guess time will tell.
Wow! It's always eye opening to see how stupid people are on this and other issues. Stem cell research is NOT illegal in the U.S. GOVERNMENT funded research on stem cells farmed from aborted children is illegal in the U.S. A distinction that is important to note. To date stem cell research promises results but has not delivered, except for adult stem cells. Menstral S.C. research seems a cheeper/faster/reliable way to get usable stem cells that produce benefits. Turn in your tampons girls!
I am split on the whole thing. Its like I support both. I want a woman to be able to choose, I just dont want her to choose abortion you know? And I figure, if she is going to be having an abortion anyway, why not use that to save a life instead of scraping it into the trash? I mean I really dont like abortions cause I think if ur not ready for a baby u should just keep ur legs closed, but if ur gonna do it anyway why not save a life from it?
Because it's rationalizing a bad thing, plus it DOESN'T save lives yet. Nor will it for the forseeible future the way they sell it to us. Adult stem cells as apposed to embryonic S.C. is making all the medical break-throughs. I can get into that.
I like your point, if people don't want children, then don't have sex, it's 100% effective in defense against pregnancy. But, I don't think I could test something that once was living, I could hardly make it through AP bio on dissecting something. So I am agianst all testing on embryonic cells, there are plenty of other places to get stem cells. Great use of logic btw!
No thanks, I'm trying to cut back on bush sucking.
I know they were talking about periods before, but a comma would prolly change your statement from an oral sex sex command, to one that more closely conveys a derogatory message against person named Bush. Try it this way;
An embryo at such an early stage is not a human and if it's not placed in the womb it will not survive and it will not become a human being. If it saves live's you can't complain!
Sadly your demographic is in NYC. Come to Florida I bet you get a slightly different bent. Because down here in the South we don't like this edumuhcation on stems or whatever!
I'm sorry I'll be P.C. for you, rather than use deliberate exaggeration to emphasize my point, for those that can't see that, what i meant to say is; Southern states and bible belt states are where it seems to be more difficult to garner support for stem cell research. Lori please come down to Florida (an example of said obtuseness) and try and find evidence of the same logic that you find in a more diversified region such as NYC. Is that better?
dude, most people wont accept acupuncture...but they will accept the FDA pills, remember Phen-Phen?
If you put a white smoc on it and endorse it with the FDA, people will ride it to liver cancer or a heart attack until it's time for their significant other to file a malpractice lawsuit.
Thats just the first stage. The second stage is that she has to thrust her hips in back and forth kind of way to shake the sperm cells around. The third and final stage is that she has to go "ooohhh-babby" and the sperm donor has to say "I love you" and not really mean it. Thats how you create a baby.
I really want some research done with stem cells because A) Do women use menstrual blood? B) Do people use a dead fetus?
If you answer no to either question, there is no problem. That's just my mentality, anyway. *-* I guess people just don't feel comfortable using a fetus, but I have to go with my gut.
id love to see the resident go on road trips to diff. cites in the states and get a broader range of opinion on the questions. im sure stemcells would go over a little differently in Salt Lake City
"Religion held back Galileo and Copernicus. and looking back who was right? (Amazing) Now religion is holding back medical science. In the future that fact will amaze people."
Science was in a long winning streak until Bush... Then it all went to hell.
Wow. Im surprised that a lot of people have a 'don't care' mentality about this kinds of stuff. I kind of figured people thought about it more often than not.
Religion held back Galileo and Copernicus. and looking back who was right? (Amazing) Now religion is holding back medical science. In the future that fact will amaze people.
There is no argument. If you want to look at it from a religious view, we were blessed with reason which STEMS intuition, intrigue, and incisiveness. "Give a man a fish, feed him for a day ..." We are offered the map, the information is there. We would be fools not to embrace it. Think about the person that ate the first chicken egg. "Oh, what's this? Look my dear, this animal just crapped the bloody orb. Whether God, or just dumb luck, offers us incite we must take it.
Not necessarily! I live a highly unstable, restless and reckless life! I do want medicine to cure my currently obtaining losses, which will hurt me in the future. I don't want to change gears though.. Is this such a crime?!
"In conformity with the principles of our Constitution...we have proposed no professor of divinity; and the rather as the proofs of the being of a God...the author of all the relations of morality, and of the laws and obligations these infer, will be within the province of the professor of ethics to which adding the developments of these moral obligations...," Thomas Jefferson in the Report of the Commissioners for the University of Virginia (4 Aug 1818)
Just remember congress and the president is only hung up on government financing of stem cell research. Private companies have been working with stem cells for over the past 20 years. That is not in the news.
the thing i have learned about these political points is that the general public opinion changes drasticly based on where you are. You are standing in New York City (where i come from) and in my opinion new yorkers are very open minded and liberal but if you went to some farm country town in texas the general public opinion there will be different. Ofcourse i am stereotyping but i believe new yorkers are well informed and well educated in general. Republicans lack open minded education.
I think basically anyone who thinks a glorified zygote should get to live over a sapient person has a seriously diseased mind and I sincerely hope anti-abortionists all get a disease that requires stem cells to treat it lol ...oh but they'll just be dumb enough to live in fantasy land where they trick themselves into thinking they'll get into Heaven even though Jesus more or less said "you can try & get in my club but it sure as fuck ain't likely" or something about passing through a needle-head
...But menstrual stem cells and embryonic stem cells are two significantly different things, embryonic ones are far more valuable. Uh oh well, so anyway, yeah, they can medically give me period blood stem cells any day, I don't even think it's gross in any way whatsoever ...I think periods are gross [ mostly as a slap in the face to any dumbass bitchy feminist / female superiority advocates who might be reading this :] but not the use of period blood cells which is actually pretty cool
Now no one has a legitimate argument over the use of stem cells, if they can be obtained from unfertilized eggs that would be otherwise flushed. Come on now, these stem cells are not coming from fetuses... if an unfertilized egg is considered life, does that mean all women must have unprotected sex once a month from they day of there first period to avoid reckless abandonment charges? And any guy that ejaculates without targeting an egg also reckless abandonment?

This video dissappoints me. I can not believe how many people think abortion is right and stem cell research is for the greater good. I mean of course you wanna help people, I am not saying that. but I just think it is wrong to play God and it seems like it is leading to that. If people would read the bible more, they would know that playing God isn't a good idea.

yeah that's right CHARANE1988. Why don't you stop taking medicine for the rest of your life, and never schedule a medical appointment again. And if you have a loved one that is having a heart attack, or one that you just found unconscious and barely breathing. DON'T DO ANYTHING. Because that would be playing god, now wouldn't it be?

How is wanting to save peoples lives playing god. Isnt god about helping those in need and to help the sick, so why wouldn't we want to use stem cells.

I am absolutely NOT arguing with any of the points you've made, I agree that stem cell research is incredibly beneficial, but I'm curious to know, out of however many interviews you took, how many were against your point of view? Why not show those? You have a wonderful program and I absolutely enjoy tuning in and seeing new episodes, but showing the other side is okay too.

I consider the religious viewpoint of stem cell research [via embryonic harvesting] to be a valid opinion, and a good challenge for the scientific community. If they look in other directions, we could potentially come up with MANY alternatives for stem cell harvesting, and menstrual blood is just another option. Sometimes restrictions give us more opportunity for advancement.

with an overpopulated world is being against abortions still a good thing¿
Jesusplant 3 years ago
I don't consider abortion good or bad in general. It's up to the mother and father, and my opinion should not convince them otherwise; thus should be the idea globally, but who's gonna stand up for Individuality when they feel their opinion is "the best?"
Overpopulation is a probable issue, and I feel that sometimes, we must accept death, rather than save a life.

Well, if you know the whole process of making stems cells out of menstrual blood, perhaps most of us won't be gross out. It's the same as "toilet to tap" program, even though the water treated is drinkable, but it won't go to the tap water, it goes to the river, where we get the water and then treated it for tap water.

I think it's very shallow to blame religion for opposition to embryonic stem cell research. You don't have to be religious to value and respect life, and realize that it's unnecessary to destroy embryos to harvest stem cells. Adult stem cells have been scientifically proven to be just as useful as embryonic stem cells. I think we need to be much for respectful of the power of science and technology, or else GATTACA will be a best-case scenario for our future.
NsaneNtheNbrane 3 years ago
I agree with you on both points. There are people out there that do not practice religion that also value and respect life. Also, in addition to adult stem cells, placental stem cell research has resulted in treatment of 80 diseases of children most notably anemia, leukemia, and lymphoma. (Source: The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society web site.)

Theres disadvantages to this. People are going to be more careless with health... Who cares if I smoke a pack or two a day, I'll just have new lungs grown. Who cares if I drink too much and kill my liver, I'll have a new one grown! Its great for cancer and MS and many many other health problems, but it could be abused. Even worse example, I'll eat as much McDonalds as I want, if I get heart problems or have a heart attack, I'll just have 'em grow me a new one!

About clones not being in God's plan:
Didn't he command humans to spread life across the planet?
Also, all of our actions are just carrying out God's ultimate plan. I believe if we start successfully cloning humans, we wouldn't be going against anything in this plan and we'd still be adding life to the planet. As long as they didn't use these clones for acts of violence, I'd be fine.

I am for looking for stem cells elswhere....but did you know that stem cells are also in the bone marrow? This has been known longer than the stem cell debate has been going on, so why do we still want to get cells from embryos? I am against embryonic stem cell research, but I'm all for the research in bone marrow and menstrual cells.
monkey0415 3 years ago
Really... this issue isnt about religion. Like the whole "abortion" thing. I'm against it, but not because of my religion... Its not like i think God will smite or anything. Same, with Stem cells. I'm still on the fence with it, it has nothing to do with my religion. Its more of the case of pushing the boundaries of moral/ethical standards. Though that one lady that was talking about "if your child was sick" made an excellent point. I guess time will tell.

Wow! It's always eye opening to see how stupid people are on this and other issues. Stem cell research is NOT illegal in the U.S. GOVERNMENT funded research on stem cells farmed from aborted children is illegal in the U.S. A distinction that is important to note. To date stem cell research promises results but has not delivered, except for adult stem cells. Menstral S.C. research seems a cheeper/faster/reliable way to get usable stem cells that produce benefits. Turn in your tampons girls!

And I figure, if she is going to be having an abortion anyway, why not use that to save a life instead of scraping it into the trash? I mean I really dont like abortions cause I think if ur not ready for a baby u should just keep ur legs closed, but if ur gonna do it anyway why not save a life from it?
Sassenach89 3 years ago
Because it's rationalizing a bad thing, plus it DOESN'T save lives yet. Nor will it for the forseeible future the way they sell it to us. Adult stem cells as apposed to embryonic S.C. is making all the medical break-throughs. I can get into that.
Z8nate 3 years ago
I like your point, if people don't want children, then don't have sex, it's 100% effective in defense against pregnancy. But, I don't think I could test something that once was living, I could hardly make it through AP bio on dissecting something. So I am agianst all testing on embryonic cells, there are plenty of other places to get stem cells. Great use of logic btw!

Thats just the first stage. The second stage is that she has to thrust her hips in back and forth kind of way to shake the sperm cells around.

I really want some research done with stem cells because A) Do women use menstrual blood? B) Do people use a dead fetus?
