Stem Cells - Once and for all

[davaidavai8]

yes, human owns right to it, but.. he has conscience and brain. Will to chooce. If she chooses. to give up embroeo.. then she has that right.. Can u comprehend that? Can you process that?

[MaluGorga]

Well, actually, no, they don't... an embryo isn't a fetus, it doesn't resembles something, it has no organs nor any defined tissues, that's why it's usefull. It's just a bunch of undefined cells, waiting to become something.

[oran6es]

The only way they can become something is if they continue to develop, by keeping it alive. Pull it apart and develop the infant in pieces, or implant it and develop it as a whole.

I vote for the whole.

[oran6es]

MD concerned about step 2. Using and destroying existing embryos for research over the next decade or 2 may or may not result in treatments. The conditions mentioned constitute tens of millions in the US alone. How many more, how many embryo factories? How many women donors will be adversely affected? When in the life cycle of a human being is it okay to own, destroy, and sell it ? The stem cells in an embryo are most valuable to the human being that

owns them. Period.

[olstar18]

Says the guy who knows nothing about the subject he is commenting on.

[oran6es]

MDs know lots about this particular subject.

[olstar18]

If he is the one saying the garbage about woman donors being adversly affected then he knows jack shit. These are embryos marked for destruction after in vitro fertilization. The donor already has their child and they have given away all they could to infertile couples. The rest get thrown away.

@olstar18

400k spare embryos

24 million diabetics and climbing

one disease, do the math

[olstar18]

Yeah 400k possible cell lines that can be used for several years for research and produce enough cells to treat who knows how many people. The cells duplicate. They are not stuck with just what they are originally given. That 400k could be used for most of the lines of research and as couples continue to get in vitro fertilization there will continue to be more that could potentially be used. Now YOU do the math and this time use a calculator instead of the surface of a glass of water.

[oran6es]

Each embryo has one human's worth of cells, only so many pancreatic islet cells. If the cells duplicated forever, you'd only need one embryo, forever.

You are incorrect.

[olstar18]

No you are incorrect. Will they last forever. Nothing does but the same line of cells can be used for a lot more than a single experiment. Have you run out of straws to grasp at yet.

[oran6es]

24 million(diabetics)-400k embryos= 23.6 million more embryos needed. The research being conducted is how to develop pancreatic islet cells for transplant into diabetics.

That's just one disease.

Be a truthful realist. Cost-prohibitive going nowhere research that could adversely affect many fertile women.

The real future of stem cell research is using adult stem cells. A study is now being formed using adult stem cells to treat ALS.

Stay tuned.

[olstar18]

No be a truthful realist. It isn't 1 for every single patient. That is the same type of logic used by the idiots trying to say that the creation story is literaly true. They take what they want out of it and ignore everything else. You take that they need these embryos for research and then ignore the fact that 1 embryo can be used for several experiments and continue to be used for a few years before they are no longer viable and make up that they would need one for every patient.

[oran6es]

@olstar18

Helllooooo, after the experiments are done, the cells(products) will be needed in massive numbers to treat patients, they'll need to be kept alive, transported, etc. Embryo factories.

This research is going nowhere fast.

[olstar18]

!. Medical research by its very nature is slow and methodical. If they did it fast the results could very easily be dangerous.

2. You have no idea how many patients they would be able to treat with a single line of cells. And since you do not know you are making it up as you go along to convince people that your delusions are correct.

[jwong1983]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!if you think that using stem cells are bad, you are completely ignorant. Blastocysts(often mistakenly called embryonic a charged word that has created a political and moral brouhaha)IF THEY MATURE they have the ability to differentiate themselves. get your facts straight. then reply to me.

[cellmedicine]

The issue with stem cells is the lack of knowledge that adult stem cells are a clinical reality.

[Unklebillybob]

Malu - Love the music!

[ignishun]

ill tell u whos stoppin the development of stem cell research, mr bush.

[Unklebillybob]

ign - For specific facts on President Bush's Veto, go to "Tony Snow on Embryonic Stem Cell Veto" I think the video should answer most of your questions. If not, maybe I can fill-in some of it.

[metalim]

What the hell is wrong with the text? Couldn't you remove line breaks before inserting it into video?

[MaluGorga]

I tried to... But some phrases couldn't get connected because it wouldn't fit.

Besides, I did the text on Paint...

[TNpegleg]

THANK YOU for this factual, informative presentation! I am "pro-life" but support embryonic stem cell researc h as outlined in S 5, to be presented to the 110th Congress soon. Tell your Senators to vote "YES!"

[MikeT2005]

Brilliant. I love it.

You present the facts without bias, then you come to the only logical conclusion that be reached.

There is no 'morale' debate. There's simply a religious debate.

When are the rest of us going to stop letting someone elses beliefs govern the way we live?

Thankyou so much for this video. I couldn't've done it better myself.
