If grants, funding from government and other organizations were not involved, the research would most likely stay within ethical bounds - thus far, compliance is not mandatory. Not all stem cell research is unethical, though the lines are already blurred, there is some straight forward ethical research going on. Our President is most correct in being cautious however, I hope Frist rethinks his "popular" flip-flop position –for votes.
The researchers already have successfully turned the cells into human liver tissue. The "researchers" have successfully turned cells into far more than this article tells and it is scary!
yoe, you said The "researchers" have successfully turned cells into far more than this article tells and it is scary!
What have they done with these cells that is scary? Do you have a source? I'm interested.
Next thing there'll be spam showing up in e-mail for new penises grown from embryonic like stem cells that men can special order to size.

Just God letting science know when something is a no-no.
But..but... what will they do with the leftover bio-mass collected at the abortion clinics?
Soylent Green?
What else, and why scary?
I'm thinking that this sounds like a pretty promising direction for Type I diabetics -- perhaps there's a way to produce islet cells for the pancreas that don't trigger the automimmune response that causes the disorder.
Yes, there are no moral absolutes, only offended people.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
The abortion industry is just that -- an industry. As such, it seeks to maximize profits.
Like any other industry, it seeks to sell its waste products for profit.
THAT, I argue, is one big reason that many folks argue for embryonic stem-cell research -- it allows embryos to be sold for profit.
This should be an acceptable alternative, but lawsuits will probably kill off the industry before it gets going. We'll be lucky to get aspirin 20 years from now, not to mention factory-grown replacement organs.
You notice it doesn't say "End Debate". That's because there the organization, Planned Parenthood, is still functioning to promote abortion.

Having said all of that, I don't feel my life is worth so much that it merits the sacrifice of another life. Honestly, I question the credibility of anyone who does think that highly of themselves - considering that another life, with great potential, was snuffed out for their benefit. That sounds harsh, no doubt, unless one considers all the lives involved, not just that of the older, bigger person.
