Why should not we allow EMBRYONIC STEM CELL...

[Dr.D.C.Mehta-Jamnagar]

...research to make some disease FREE & healthy future of the mankind Debet is going on in the world specially in USA for the funding the embryonic stem cell reasearch projects>Why should we tie up the hands of bio medical scientist by making a LAW not to make any research on this ? let the FREE ERA FROM GENETIC/HERIDITARY DISEASES/DISORDERS come. WHERE LIVE AND LET LIVE WILL BE UNIVERSALLY ACCEPTED FORMULA!By this vegitarianism will indirectly be pratisied and theme of Religeon jainism that is AHINSHA (Non violence)will be accepted/practised globally.Will you favour stem cell reasearch for the general well being of the human kind ?? Please point out your YES or NO answers with your views/argues! --Dr.D.C.Mehta from Jamnagar-Gujarat-India

Where do you draw the line?

Stem cell research is the future of medicine. There should be no law. It should be heavily funded and supported by the government.

[Ravi Joshi]

the reason people ban embryotic stem cells because stupid people like bush care too much abt religon then to save lives.

[william11373]

because of stupid religions like christianity, they hold back technological improvements in everyday life.

[syd p]

because it is murder, what drug are you on?

[imapirateaarr]

If there were any sign that stem cells from embryos would be effective, id be all for it. since there is little to no evidence that embryonic stem cells can do anything, why kick up dust and fight for it.

[cherochap]

Compromise... Those who think embryos are human beings see stem cell research as contributing to the murder of unborn children. Those who do not believe embryos are yet human see this obstruction of stem cell research as a horribly wasted opportunity to alleviate human suffering. This issue will never be resolved by both sides insulting one another. Recognize that there are people of good will on both sides of the debate and find what both can live with, if not agree upon. Stipulated that stem cell research is important, how can we work to advance the research without alienating 50% of the USA?

Here's a suggestion. Whether or not one approves, legalized abortion is a fact in the USA. Why not pass legislation to permit the harvesting of stem cells from abortion clinics? Not one additional embryo is destroyed. And numerous new stem cell lines can be made available for researchers nearly immediately.

Probably this suggestion will just draw fire from both sides, but I believe it's time to think outside the box.

Well, I personally support stem cell research, but why some people freak out over it is because they feel that it destroys embryos they feel its destroying life,

[Weird Darryl]

It seems to me that finding cures for diseases would make the deaths of those embryos mean something. After all, it isn't as if the number of abortions will increase if embryonic stem cell research were allowed. There are more than enough as it is.
