I was in a therapy training group with a woman whose child died at home at age 4 after four harrowing year of decline. We were learning techniques of processing grief, and this poor woman's agony was wrenching.
I just don't understand the reluctance to use embryos that are going to be discarded anyway.
why are you bringing up embryos when embryonic stem cells are not curing anyone and in the case of this girl, it's umbilical cord cells that may work. Nothing in the article is mentions embryos? So far adult stem cells cures 55 different diseases while embryonic cures NONE and have caused people to die from tumors.
Ummm. Mostly because its not shown any sign of being medically useful (Any more than making a nice car with a tunnelling microscope), while giving abortion activists a misleading argument to show that abortion is useful...plus there's the whole cloning argument.
That, by the way, has not a thing to do with this article. Embryonic stem cells were not in play here.
