Stem cell research could cure my sister.

Shellie, but what about the children that are being aborted anyway?
- shellie0
What about them? I don't care.
Live cell & Stem cell research and treatments should be available in the US for a multitude of reasons. Mine is selfishly to help treat my sister -- a mother with two children who's too young to die.
And Transfatty, who has the same disease.
Fuckall who thinks that's wrong.

I didn't mean it, girly.
Can't they harvest stem cells out of placentas and umbilical chords also from babies that are born?

Shellie, the point i've been trying to make is that fetal stem cells aren't the only option. Adult stem cells are available.
I'm all for stem cell research. Adult stem cells.

exactly mrdobs.

so otherwise where atre they getting these stem cells from? It isn;t like they are killing healthy babies to get them. Other than abortions, right?

Is there any research between the difference between stem cells harvested from cord blood and that taken form aborted fetus'? Asking in all seriousness...

Surly there's other ways. Middle america makes a big whoop about everything.

Sen. Brownback is the lowest of the low of the religious panderers. Using a 7 year old girls words to make his point. Like this little girl has any fucking clue about stem cell research. These are the fake christians I can't stand, flagellum. Read this and watch the video, what a slimy piece of shit this guy is.

"The embryos funded by H.R. 810 were “created for the purposes of in vitro fertilization...which are spare or in excess of clinical need and in every single case are slated for medical waste.” Only about 10 percent of embryos are adopted — the rest are disposed of. If H.R. 810 passes, they will instead be used to develop potentially live-saving cures for millions of people."
*taken from mrdobolina link.
From Castle's letter to Bush (who Bush refused to meet with):
"This legislation does NOT allow funding for the creation or destruction of embryos."Seems pretty clear to me. I think this sums it up on the comments section:
"This only goes to prove that there’s not much difference between the way a conservative looks at the world and the way a seven-year-old does"
It's sad how America has been, or is being, overrun and how far it's putting us behind the rest of the world in medical technology and skills.
Just sad.

there HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY to not end 'a' life and make everyone happy.
destroying life is never progressive...
the only time I feel it's acceptable to stop a life is if the life you're taking is threatening yours.

to quote david cross:

Enter response:I'd have to say that if it were me and my wife and we were trying to have a child - and this were a last resort...
... I'd try once... and only based on the doctor's admitted feelings as to whether he/she thought we had a chance.
I'm not for wasting life to enhance mine either.
