Brave New World.

I still think its more fun the old fashioned way!

[taxesareforever]

No men or women needed. So where do they get the stem cells?

[freebilly]

Stem cells just aren’t as much fun as a good romp in the hay. There will always be kids produced by, ahem, time-tested biological methods....

[P.O.E.]

In the year 2525

[allmost]

Unicorns.

[paltz]

looks like a harvesting nightmare.

[massmike]

Uh...weren’t we told that stem cell research was for helping the Christopher Reeves’ and Michael J Fox’s of the world?This helps them HOW????????

[eclecticEel]

More catering to those obsessed with having biological children when they should obviously be looking to adopt.

[Ticonderoga34]

LOL. That song started to play in my head when I saw this article.

[allmost]

Stem cell research has been ongoing. The Michael J Fox's of the world supported embryonic exclusively. Embryonic stem cell research has never yielded benefit. It is one of the most cancerous treatments known.

Adult stem cells, however, encompass virtually every single positive breakthrough you have ever heard about.

Algore? He was the inspiration for 'Love Story', created the internet, was the see-all and end-all in predicting Goreball Warming. Maybe they cloned one of his chest hairs (if he has any which I seriously doubt) and created an all new improved human being. Big Al is capable, ya know?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep. John Edwards told us that Christopher Reeve would get up out of the wheelchair and walk again, and he would have already done so in 2004, if not for Bush administration policy on embryonic stem cells.

Why are liberals/Democrats never called out on idiotic things that they say?????????

[glock rocks]

The U.S. government-funded research

On the upside, it'll lessen the need for a draft.

Exactly!

Frozen embryos are stored, forgotten and thrown away, and still they find yet another way to produce children. More money for a non-life threatening situation and less for children dying of incurable diseases.

On the upside, it'll lessen the need for a draft.

On the downside there will be 2 clone troopers for every citizen.

[lurk]

It doesn’t matter how successful they are in doing this kind of stuff.

The old way of joining sperm and egg will forever be more popular.

[RobbyS]

It also raises the question of the quality of humans created by this method. What if they all die by age 20?
