Your right. I guess what upsets me most is that when anyone mentions stem cell research, it is seldom said in a separation between embryonic and adult donors. It is just treated as universally bad.
Look at the threads. people just shoot it down and there needs to be a distinction made.
I am not advocating abortion at all.
I am however fiercely advocating that not all research is bad. And just because this particular branch of research and treatment is called “stem cell” many people could care less where it comes from. So many people here who are against one side of it (fetal) should make that clear. That abortion is out but there are other ways to do it and that those ways are alright.
Imagine all the people who call or write their congresscritters and say “I am against stem cell research”.
I think it is a much higher number of people than say “I am against embryonic stem cell research but adult stem cell research should be allowed”
That is all I am trying to get out here. Which is why I posted that article about adults having success.
all kinds of stuff is coming about now like this i was told of today
I believe that we are close to end a lot of suffering through medicine and science. I only ask that people make the point that it be allowed - without killing anyone.
I hear you. But please know that the fetal stem-cell research proponents are deliberately confusing the issue, so people believe that fetal stem-cell research is necessary and where all the promise lies. The truth is that adult stem-cell research is where nearly all the breakthroughs have been, and the opponents of fetal stem-cell research have been working tirelessly to distinguish that adult stem-cell research is very promising, whereas fetal stem-cell research is unnecessary and barbaric.
