"Follow the money..." this cliche applies here perfectly.
Yes, why quit smoking when you can just inject embryo parts and keep on puffing.
I cant seem to keep up with the Stem Cell dispute.
The other day they claimed they make the blind see , but it caused cancer, todaythey are using them to cure smokers cancer. So many claims , so many problems. hard to root out the truth.
If embryonic stem cells ever are found to make a person more conservative it's over.
Helloooooo! Every baby comes with a PLACENTA that is thrown away (sorry, Tom Cruise)! Each placenta must have a lot more stem cells than the 5-celled embryo. Why choose to kill a baby instead of making use of placental cells?
Hmmmm?? Maybe it wasn't the stem cells .. maybe the effects of smoking they used are all a lie ..?? What if you can't get lung cancer from 2nd hand smoke ..?? How will they be able to tell ..??
Let's think through the logic here ~ you use such a vaccine early so that it can also stop some forms of cancer from occuring. Then, later on somebody comes along with another idea to force you to have embryonic stem cells injected into your brain. This will stop that idea cold.
Are you a stem cell expert?
From the article:
"Looking for such molecules holds more promise than injecting stem cells themselves, says Weber."
Well, you persuade me with your logic and reasoning.
It's a moral issue, not a scientific issue. Those who deny that the science has no potential, because of moral issues, loses on both because it isn't moral to deny truth just to get your moral values pushed.
An example. You are morally opposed to nukes in 1942. You tell the world that they just don't work. But the Manhattan project occurs. Now, it's time to use it, does anybody listen to you?
Question the ethics of using it, don't deny the science, unless you have evidence to support you.
Them stem $ell$ can do anything!
No one knows. Embryonic and adult stem cells are worth researching until answers become clearer.
"We were absolutely shocked," Pelosi says.
There is something bogus about this article. That or my understanding of stem cell research is flawed. This gives the impression that "emryonic" stem cells have already been used to cure lots of this, and now will prevent cancer.
Everything I have heard is that embryonic has produced absolutely NOTHING. It is ADULT stem cell research that is achieving results.
So which is it?
[Embryonic stem cells, the controversial and versatile cells that seem able to do just about anything...]
Starting an article with a lie is not a good sign and raises a red flag from the get go. Embryonic stem cells have not cured or relieved one disease as yet despite all the backing by the liberal media and tax grabbing politicians and bueracrats.
Adult stem cells have been a great success and are continuing to provide new remidies with time and experimental medicines, they are the future. Yet the left wing simply wants the abortion mills to kill off our fellow human beings and stem cell research would greatly aid their political and monetary interests of tax paying grants to themselves. Again, embryonic stem cells have not produced any cures as they mutate too fast and can not be controlled, it is simply a scam the pro abortion movement uses to delude despate people. Adult stem cells do work and have produced positive cures, yet all you ever hear about is embryonic stem cells from the media which supports the socialist hopes of the left.
As long as you're not the embryo.
