This video is a question for Republican Candidate Rudy Giuliani. It was created by Ivan from Croatia & Lucy from Serbia, two 19 year old students attending the Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows Initiative.

  • BOTH scientific and religious. Science has already proven that an intact human embryo is a living human individual, that with others, has a virtual guarantee of becoming hundreds of living breathing thinking individuals within a few generations. My religion agrees. Leave the intact young human individual alone.

    No need to pull it apart and develop its parts as commodities.

  • ESCs promise to have the potential to be better - in a dish, not in a body, where they form tumors and are rejected. Pluripotent cells are grand for lab work, and are not limited to embryonic so ethical question moot. Healthier for woman/child if don't use drugs. Cheaper, too. We should be asking why we let industry put women's lives at risk to overproduce embryos instead of what to do with the surplus. Ethical options exist. Religion not relevant. Sweet kids, though.

  • There are thousands of unviable zygotes that can be used for stem cell research that are thrown away from fertility clinics every week.

    What these people are saying is that it is better for them to be in the garbage than to same someone like me from suffering than death.

    It is what they want.

  • Kids, in theory, ESCR provides the most promising results. However, the actual fact is, ASCR has produced many more positive results than ESCR....No, wait, ASCR has produced all the positive results, whereas, ESCR has produced -0- positive results.

  • Hopefully this debate will not have to take place as science has found a way to develop stem cells from adults and not foetuses/stem cells. Let's suppose you needed embryo stem cells. The arguments you put forward for stem cell research in order to help people with degenerative diseases is a powerful one. Would you extend your premise and include newborn babies as part of the research, because they too would be utilised for the 'greater good?
