thinkharder maybe you should quote the entire paragraph instead of whatever fits your train of thought. i will clarify it for you, it was Adult stem cells from the person herself not murdered babies

We can''t afford people like this anymore folks! We are NEVER going to make clear decisions based on what is best for the nation when people like this exist. The GOAL of this creature of the Dark is NOT to put forth his position on an issue. This is someone who is SO NARROW MINDED and SO Inconsiderate of OTHER PEOPLES beliefs, that they are to be made out to be people who Kill Babies! Now we have two choices at this time... we can continue to talk to each other in this manner or we can refuse! I say refuse... THEY have NO right to shove their Religion down our throat and NO ONE is talking about Killing Babies to get Stem Cells. We have NO right to demand that OTHERS respect us in the World when we do NOT respect each other!!

We''''ve been through this, and we know very well what types of cells were used here. However, it is natural that this discussion would evolve in to a more broad topic concerning stem cell development in all of it''''s iterations.

Yeah this is what we have been missing for so LONG, an OPEN HONEST debate about an issue ALL of us should be concerned with. I can''t see a problem with it, it''s called DEBATE! It''s EXACTLY how our Nation came to be. The problem in this nation right now is a few, who control most of the Republican Party, do NOT know the meaning of the word COMPROMISE!

If god graces your life with the right to reproduce. I surly hope you never have to watch them die before you. I lost my youngest and if they had told me that his life could be saved by pulling stem cell out of your back side. God forgive me but I would have jumped at the chance. Closed minded people like you live in the stone age and that is your right. Please don''t step on my right to live on.

Now, if they can only grow the republicans a set of b alls. Perhaps they can grow the republicans a p nis too and then they won''t be the party of eunuchs.

Stem cell research is progressiong all over the world, but not as rapidly as it should. When someone sees a loved one dying of a disease, or pehaps they are the one with a health problem, their own assessment and beliefs can present them with a different point of view toward scientific research and its benefits.

In a Democracy, the majority should rule, so if the elected leadership pushes the issue forward, then much progress will be accomplished in the near future.

Would it not be much more humane to have replacement parts from your own tissue, than to be comprised of so many metal objects? Think of all the losses of limbs, eyes, and other injuries suffered by our soldiers, and how much richer their lives would be if these could be restored as flesh!!!!

Will they ever worry about growing NEW teeth? Think about all the possibilites of "what life will be like should all this take place in the future!" THINK

[patocc-2009]

I just read the first page and I think people are misguided in what kind of stem cell research people are against. EMBRYONIC STEM CELL. If you read the article they took the stem cells from the womens bone marrow. Not a fetus. People need to educate themselves before they start to bring up a political arguement that they have been mislead to believe by thier political party.

i am pretty sure the constitution you speak of doesnt cover terrorists like yourself

Posted by dxme141 at 08:28 AM : Nov 19, 2008

You have no right to call me a terrorist you self righteous bag of wind! You see, I lost three good friends of mine to terrorist hands on 911...terrorists so hell bent on their religious certainty that they disregarded the well being of others and killed my friends.

Your religious certainty, while not nearly as immediate in its malice, is equally dangerous.

Perhaps we could propose a solution. What if, once tax returns came around, we were offered the option, much like we are offered to donate to campaign contributions, to chose whether we''d like to see our tax dollars allotted for the development of stem cell research. Is that fair enough for you?

Then quit paying taxes and **** of my country kthxbai

I wasn''t referring to the article...I read it and know full well what types of cells were used for this research. I was rebutting commentary made by another poster here. You see, being an atheist, I don''t believe that research on embryonic stem cells is in any way shape or form tantamount to the murdering of babies. To say otherwise is a religious consideration and I am opposed to my tax payer dollars being steered away from such research on those accounts.

[ncsujags]

Whatever! Stem Cell research is necessary. Obama is for it and Bush is against it! Time for CHANGE!!!!!

[thinkharder-]

That''''s OK though. Someone will use it in an ad for embryonic stem cell research and "neglect" to tell us that little detail and mislead the public into voting for taxpayer dollars for embryonic research.

You know Holy Joe, as uncomfortable as you are with the prospect of having your taxpayer dollars supporting embryonic stem cell research...I am equally frustrated that my tax payer dollars are not supporting such research. I am frustrated that we are slowing the progress and forward thinking nature of the scientific process and my government won''t allow me to put my money where I feel it is most needed. You see...your OPINION as to the intrinsic human value of a cluster of human embryonic cells is a solely religious one, and I''d rather not have my tax dollars steered by you religious inclinations.

[gramto8]

Those ''dead babies'' that you believe are being used look like this:

ooo
ooooo
ooooooo
ooooo
ooo

Only in a spherical shape. Get a grip!

[georgew1956]

excellant news for the start of the day.

[holy-joe-722]

Wow! I''m really surprised that they printed this article at all. It says that they used HER stem cells, not embryonic cells. That''s OK though. Someone will use it in an ad for embryonic stem cell research and "neglect" to tell us that little detail and mislead the public into voting for taxpayer dollars for embryonic research. Once again, it is adult stem cells that worked.

[rixmix98]

Please, before I die, just 2 things:
1. Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Rumsfeld, Wofowitz, Rove ------- all in bright prison orange jumpsuits (Rice wearing appropriately matching orange pumps) ----- and awaiting trial for war crimes in the Hague.



Priceless

for william7800:

Won''t it be neat when they can grow you a brain with more than one cell in it? Or was I counting too high for you?
