A text video on stem cells, it's types, the controversy about the embryonic stem cells and a list of some treatments in research.
I made this video after seeing Michael J. Fox ad and the video responses, which showed that lots of people don't know much about stem cells.

  • 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?

  • 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.

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

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

    Besides, I did the text on Paint...

  • !. 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.

  • @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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • @olstar18

    400k spare embryos

    24 million diabetics and climbing

    one disease, do the math

  • 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.
