bush prohibited anymore stem cells from being collected they can research what exsits now but no more can be made, thusly they are steming the tide because there are only a select few to study with whereas the rest of the world has open access to them.
Its just bloody stupid to me, but then again I clearly don't care about the sanctity of life.
In an effort to stem the tides of thread hijacking (haha)...here's a thread!
First off, what exactly are Republicans doing to block stem cell research? Why?
why? they're probably pro-life, because with the new way of producing stem cells (artificial pregnancy to about 32-cell stage) cana ctually create a new human, but we're not sure of the point in which we cna call the blastula (a speherical sturture of cells that are the first stages of human pregancy) a human life-form as the stem cells have no specialized yet to any specific human-like function, in this i think it is NOT a human, though it's all opinions at that point
personally, i find it very interesting, stem cells are a very cool topic with their great potential :P
i thought i might have heard that too but they aren't as potent apprently, you can also extract them from adults but the numbers are small and uses limited from what i understand.

It's a very recent technique, and how else would you propose harvesting stem cells? besides, they can refine the process later surely :P

As you said in the Moore thread Essex, it's a religious choice. Apparent as "they" care little for the sanctity of life when it come's down to killing civilians in war or petty third time offenders.
Beside, as abortion is allowed, taking stem cells from embryos makes no differens at all. Were abortion not allowed, I can see why people wouldn't want them allowed just to make stem cells readily available.

If "they" is conservatives, that is a reckless comment. Killing innocents is not the policy of any administration, but it is an unfortunate reality of war. Clinton authorized the bombing of Kosovo, which hit civilian targets, and our peacekeeping soldiers ra ped and killed innocent civilians there as well. The Bush administration contends that the Iraq war ultimately saved lives, though I doubt that any of us can confirm or deny this with any real authority.
As far as execution is concerned, most candidates on either side are pro-death penalty by and large, and that is unfortunate. I am against the death penalty, but sadly there are few candidates that take that position.
But you care about your own - otherwise you wouldn't argue in favor of researching medicine to extend and/or improve the life of those already living.
i was being sarcastic, but you're right I do care about my own life and those of the people I actually know. My grandfather has Alzhimers (sp) and my great aunt is almost a vegetable from all the strokes she's had. My father's side of the family is racked with Cancer and my mother's side has heart disease. Now I haven't heard of stem-cells having anything to do with those paticular diseases but who knows? I know for a fact that my father has Diabetes and I may have it one day too.
So yes I'm a selfish heartless bastard who wants to help myself and the people I know, clearly an evil evil action.
