Jerry Tree(sp?) a Parkinson's disease patient for twelve years speaks against embryonic stem cell research and abortion at the January 25, 2006 Maryland legislative committee hearing
Neurology volume 46: implantation of embryonic stem cells into a Parkinson's patient's brain caused a teratoma (tumor containing hair, bone, teeth), and this gave a still sick patient a new brain tumor.
The "stem cell line" is a group of multiplied, matured, and differentiated cells derived from one younger embryo. As they mature, they are no longer stem cells. They are in fact fetal cells after 8 weeks, and infant-eqivalent cells at 38 weeks.
People who think we should only use adult stem cells for research are so clueless.
Stem cells will cure male-pattern baldness within a few years. As a guy who has bald family members, and who will probably start thinning himself, I have one thing to say to everyone who has tried to block development in this field:
FUCK YOU. :)
We're getting our research done around the world anyway, so hahah. :D
Might be a really good idea to look into Adult Stem Cell Research. It has and is working for many people. Embryonic stem cell research isn't working.
Obviously embryonic stem cell research isn't going just ransack embryon "stocks" (for lack of a better word), the research is going to put to use otherwise useless embryos (assuming they can't be donated to infertile couples, etc). I believe that an embryo represents a possibility, and it behooves humanity to take advantage of which result seems more likely, based on that possibility: a cure for various afflictions and diseases, or an unlikely eventual human being.
I'd hate to say this, but how much was this guy paid to say this? Furthermore regarding his point of culture vs. health, and looking towards a bright future for the next generation... I would rather assure a long and healthy life for the future generation, rather than a supposed "improved culture."

This research is failing as we speak.

Embryonic stem cells do not cause graft vs. host disease. Umbilical and bone marrow does. That's a BIG deal.

you should read the paper by paul nagourney on adult stem cells and the catholic perspective.

2nd part, just an answer, there have been approx. 40,000,000 abortions since Roe v Wade.
