Consider the following:
- It is rather difficult to research ESCs with a funding ban in place
- Without research, they are not going to find a way to use them to help humans

Which humans?

The 60 year olds with parkinson's who'll be dead in 20 years? ( no cures likely for 20-30 years, if ever).

How about implanting the embryos? In 20-30 years they'd be young adults that could walk, talk, and think.

@oran6es:
Proposal for a middle ground.

A single cell can be taken from an embryo without disrupting it to form another viable embryo. Let us call the original embryo Bob when it grows up.

Would you suggest that this 'new' embryo which stems from the same original cell, were it frozen, should not be used to help Bob live because it is capable of forming a completely new life?

What if Bob agrees to use his frozen embryo to help another person?

I like you. You're thinking. Better idea: prove that a paralyzed chimp can be made to walk using chimp embryonic cells.( good animal research.) If it fails, it fails.
If it works, said couple or family member can make their own embryo and by "choice", use its cells.

Knowing human embryology, this research is doomed to fail. It's promise has been exaggerated by a hopeful media yanking emotions by showing sick people, and abused by politicians "I'm for cures, you're not".

We're all for cures.

Once again another well articulated argument from a fucking Idiot who knows little anything, & a lot about nothing.
I hope stem cells can help in the cure of people afflicted with BIG fucking mouths like you. But It still wont help you with your stupidity fuck-face but fuck 1 thing at a time hey.
The amount of people you insult on different subjects is amazing youre a real social outcast.
Try debating a subject rather than pointless insults when you & others make you look stupid fuckstick.

When a goofball who wants to be famous implants a portion of a developing human individual into a damaged spinal cord, only to give the recipient a teratoma(tumor), it is a disservice to both the destroyed developing individual and to the still paralyzed recipient.

Please watch my video "teratoma monologue".

Let me make this very clear to you, without any mis-understandings.

ESCs Have not cured, or even helped anyone, since the first hESC was first isolated ~ Eleven Years ago.
End of Discussion!
