with current technologies we are able to use the stem cells of mice and rats instead of humans. also human skin cells can be reverse-engineered to give them stem cell like qualities. if stem cell research is left to flourish in years to come it is possible that the destruction of an embryo/fetus will not be needed at all.
I am a man of god and I truly do believe in him and that jesus christ is my savior, but I believe that stem cell research is a promising new sect of science that in time will..
first off let me say this; if you have not taken the time to research stem cells or attempted to learn anything about them do not blast your opinions. knowing both sides of the story to me is the basis of justice and a fair argument in and of itself. Secondly if you did research stem cells you would know that most stem cells DO NOT, let me reiterate that, DO NOT come from human embryos/fetus'.
"If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
Ever read the old testament? God commands a LOT of killing there. But, you say, that was the Old Testament, and Jesus' sacrifice and subsequent "new deal" between man and God replaced mosaic law, right? THEN WHY QUOTE THE 10 COMMANDMENTS?
obortion is an obamanation to the Lord Our God. Thou Shalt Not Kill. No the law is the law, Jesus said I did not come to do away with one smither of it.....(check the actual quote) THROUGH JESUS CHRIST YOU ARE FORGIVEN YOUR TRESSPASSES I.E BREAKING THE 10 COMMANDMENTS.....CAPICHE?
YES, i "capiche"! Just clarify for me- since you assert that "the law is the law", does that mean that we must murder by the sword any that break the sabbath? Shall we kill those that disobey their parents? Give me guidance, as apparently Mosaic law is STILL IN EFFECT.Also, tell me something- did Judas hang himself, or did he fling himself off a cliff and burst his bowels open?Was Jesus born in Jerusalem and laid in the manger, or was he born in the wilderness and TAKEN to Jerusalem? HELP!
The questions are totally valid; do you not READ that book? How did the animals fit into the Ark; after all, we know how big every creature that still exists IS, and we know EXACTLY the cubic footage of the ark, so we KNOW that it was too small. EXPLAIN.
Murder and jaywalking are equal in god's eyes, remember? Beat your old ladie's ass, tell a little white lie- all sins except one are the same to the big guy. Would you like to have gay sex?
@KeanuReeeves I don't know which God you speak of? God, Jesus? Moses? Allah? Geeta? Which one? I just love this short essay on stem cells and what kinds. It tends to be reality based. By the way, Keanu Reeves is for stem cell research.
How is this for sincere- Did God know before he created the universe that he was going to create my soul, and that I would deny christ and burn?How, EXACTLY, do I have free will?After all, the fate of my soul was forseen by God, and nothing can enable my soul to end up anywhere other than where God saw it was going to end up.If he saw that I'm going to hell, I'll never accept christ, nay, I CANNOT accept him, because God is omnipotent and has seen what will be.
I know that it is a radical concept to grasp, that of which god is all omniscient being, but i truly believe that god has a plan for everyone on earth including you. to me god is like a father who gives us free will and allows us to learn from our mistakes, because god is forgiving, compassionate, and will always love you. he will not force you to accept him, because you have the choice not to, however god will always love you, he will always be there for you, and has a plan for you
I know that this is a hard concept to accept, that being that god is an all omniscient being. I believe that god has a plan for everyone on this earth, who is and going to be, including you. god gives us free will because in order to truly accept him we have to want to accept him, a feat truly impossible without free will.
When Joshua made his flocks look at striped and spotted sticks (in order to rip another herdsman off), why did he do that, EXACTLY? Were the offspring going to have stripes or spots?How is it that all the creatures on the ark were fit into spaces that were only 1.5 square feet? DO THE MATH.
You're a retard you know that. "Abortion" "Abomination" Or are you trying to make a pun? Puns are always most of time lame and un-original. Why is abortion so wrong if were all damned when were born in the first place? I say "Fuck god and everything he stands for. I fully 100% support stem cell research and I will give my first born child to stem cell research."
Okay, Embryonic stem cells are useless, and they kill a human life. yeah, murder. and we are wasting too much money on something that doesnt work. adult stem cells like bone marrow and umbilical cord work perfectly and have over 70 cures. why in hell would you want to waste time and money killing people thinking it cures diseases, when adult stem cells work perfectly??
It is not useless!!! Stem cells can be given chemical messages by scientists, and can be told to become all 210 different tissues. They can repair spinal tissue, even and eventually, paralyzed people could walk again. It is not killing a human life, because all embryos used are either left over for fertility clinics or abortions, and would be disgarded anyways. It could be SAVING lives, if scientists could research it long enough to do something.
ktb - We are talking about Adult Stem Cells, vs Embryonic Stem Cells. The actual fact is that: No Cures, No Successful Proceedures and No Positive Results of any kind for Human Research has come from ESCR. PERIOD!
Go back to your Junior High School Science teacher(s) and tell them to stop teaching such lies.
Sarah - Embryonic Stem Cell Research should not be a dilemma at all...As of today the use of ESC has not been successful after 10 years of research. Adult Stem Cell Research has been successful...Time to put the research money where success has been proven.
200 years ago the idea of a electricity, or a bulb that could produce light was unheard of. It's going to take some time, but it will work. It's already worked a little bit. embryonic cells have a higher and easier rate of differentiation, and if adult stem cells are used, it'll never work. though adult stem cells can become different kinds of cells, they could never make the thousands needed to cure a disease or condition.
70 years ago computers were bigger than some houses, and now we've got computers that are millimeters thin. It will take some time, but it'll work. ASC's have such a low rate of differentiation that we'd never be able to replicate the thousands needed to cure anything. If we could do that, then the body could do it on it's own and there'd be no diseases at all!
KTB - Embryonic stem cells produce tumors. Adult Stem Cells are helping people, Today! The improved research needs to be in a proven product. As my grandfather would say "A bird in the hand is better than a covey of quail, in the bush". Even those who are 100% sure ESCR is the cure-all in med technology, will tell you that any successful research is decades away,,,if at all. We have sick people now, that need help, not in 30, 40 50 years.
exactly am sorry i know this was such a log time ago that you left this comment but, we shouldnt waste anymore time so in 30 to 60 years we have the research and we have maybe learned alot about ESCR instead of still at that time debating if we should start to research or not.
i believe that religion has keeped some things in place wich is good but is time to use common sence. those stem cells have been donated, they dont feel,they dont think.When we find the cure you will notice how worth it it really was.
and it doesn't kill 241 potential embryos, either, because the embryos are outside of the body by the mother's decision anyways, and would've died anyways. It's not like the scientists are mugging pregnant women for their embryos! It's not any less ethical than abortions.
tim - Have you had an opportunity to read the Dickey Amendment? If not, take a few minutes to review it, why it was drafted and why it should not be ignored.
I support stem cell research and I think its about time we let all this religious superstious crap go. This is the 2st century and religion should have been done away with long ago.
be able to cure or treat many diseases in this world. so please listen to the facts of BOTH sides of the issue before criticizing the opposition

No need to use embryonic stem cells. Stemgevity is a product that Dr Steenblock developed to help release and multiply one's own stem cells.
