Bush is saying it's not right :( . I think it will help alot of people out so I'm all for it. Plus I'm pretty sure this an advancement in medical history :)
It's so stupid and bothers me :confused:

I too am All for it..
If a cure for Cancers can be found they have to explore New areas.
I really cant see a Moral issue here...
Im all for umbillical studies...
its the richest Moste Pure Blood there is so Its a good starting point.
and the stem cells can Basicly be grown into any cell it chooses..
verry interesting stuff...

If they are already murdering babies in the spirit of selfishness, might as well put thier murdered corpses to some use...

Ummm.
They Use the umbillicle cord and Plecenta blood...

wether the featous is born or aborted there not used..

Ok so tell me this genius... if they are using placenta and ubilical cord, why the hell is it called stem-cell research???

I could have sworn that was because they were using the stem-cells from thier brains for reasearch!

Mate I dont want to argue with you I actually think your a Good Guy and I have enjoyed lots of your posts...

I may Be wrong and You may be right Im no doctor I am only quoting what I Have read.

If they Do use Babys then I'll have to Change my vote..

You should support stem-cell research, even if you don't support abortion (like me)... what woudl you have them do? Just throw the carcasses away unused? This is an example of the willingness of politicians (not just Bush, but all politicians) to sacrafice morality for political gain. In this case he is pandering to the mindlessly pro-life crowd.

i personally would prefere if they didnt do it....
it may be a cure for many diseases but......i dont actually know.

i would just prefere it if they left the world as it was instead of trying to make even more humans live for longer increasing the population.

maybe im just worried about overpopulation....who knows??

dont argue if you dont know what your talking about


stem cells come fron UNDEVELOPED embryoes or babied umbilical cords...not their brains. Most of the stem cells used for research are from embryos that are surplus from IVF treatments that would have otherwise been destroyed. I agree with stem cell research. Too many people have thw rong idea, when they think about stem cell research they imagine doctors chopping up little babies and pulling there brains out...its not like that. The embryos they use are just bundles of cells. Theyre not people yet...

i think some religous people are to niev(sp?) as religion plays a big part in these sorts of things. If your religous fair enough but would who ever you pray to want you to live in a world where you can be cured of things like cancer.

not if they put the cancer (or whatever) in the world on purpose!
maybe to stop over-population?

i dont think that actuly happend, and i dont think the world will get over poulated as people die everyday of old age etc and new people are born every day, one day or later your going to die and if it's because of cancer or what ever i think that you should be able to be cured of it because like i said you'll die someday of something just hopefully not soemthing horrible like cancer.

i think there are more practical ways of lowering over population eg better contraception schemes in the third world, than ignoring terminal illnesses because "Its good that people die like or else there will be too many of us or whatever"

Howdy NextGen,

You should have added a third option to your poll,stem-cell research,that does not destroy life..as in the use of umbilical-cord blood and adult stem-cells..I had to vote no. Like Bush said"If it requires the destruction of life..then I will veto it."

What we're really talking about,is the availability of Federal monies for research..in other words,using the tax-payer dollars,many of whom,are Christians and don't want their taxes used to support the destruction of life. Private companies,can use their own money,for the destruction of life..without the support of Federal grants.

The democrappers are using this issue to make Christians look bad,when it's really just Christians objecting to the use of their tax dollars to support the destruction of life. Private companies and individuals,can invest as much of their own money as they want..and not expect to use my tax dollars for their insidious research.

Have a good one ...

Howdy easyg,

Is it any wonder,that a liberal-mindset,cannot comprehend the need to defend Freedom and Liberty against those who desire to crush it ?

what about all the other conflicts? Serbia, Albania, and countless others. Where was the USA then, when innocents were being killed for no reason by dictators, cities being bombed to the ground indescriminately. The USA wasnt there bacuase there was nothing in it for the president to help these people. Now im not saying that Saddam Hussein wasnt a terrible person, but i am saying that if bush is so keen on defending Freedom and Liberty against those who desire to crush it, then why not defend all the countries instead of just the ones that will get him financial gain?

Not all stem cells come from unborn babies. Everyone has stem cells in their bodies. People with bone cancer use stem cells from family members who match up [their own stem cells are corrupt from the cancer]. Stem cells can grow into any cell the body needs. Eventually , stem cells will be able to repair any body part, if research is allowed to continue. If Bush is against anything that destroys life, how can he send troops into battle, that destroys life, or rather he does. So, does that mean he's against himself ? Nope, I think if it is a government run research, then everyone is able to use it, but if its privatly run research then it goes to the rich or those that can afford it.

Howdy and good mornin,Heart:)

Yeah..the issue is whether or not,our money(tax dollars),should be used to support research with Federal grants...I don't want my taxes to pay for abortion clinics or 'art',that uses feces to make a slur against Christianity. I support the use of stem-cells,as long as embryos aren't being harvested and destroyed.

I hope that you and your's,are doin well:)

Hav a good one !

Howdy Kid,

Gee..correct me if I'm wrong..but I thought that we did go to Bosnia/Serbia..I guess it doesn't count..when democrappers go to war..I remember reading about how Klintoon,was gittin a blow-job from Monica,when one of his field commanders called from Serbia..hmm..how quickly,the Left forgets.

Maybe you forgot-that America was attacked by muslim jihadists on 9/11/01,seems like a logical choice,to go after those responsible and focus our efforts there,instead of spreading ourselves all over the world.

As for financial gain,Bush's financial records,are public..if he's making so much money off the war on terror,you'd think that by now..the Left would have exposed such gains.

Have a good one....

My dad died of bone marrow cancer two years ago. They were trying to kill all his cancerous cells so they could use his own stem cells to rebuild his bone marrow (blood cell factory). This is after no family members matched his stem cells for a transplant. The treatment to kill the cancer, killed him before it got all the cancer. A matching stem cell donor or a new method might have made a difference. He was only 58 and in very good health leading up to this. Took him in less than one year. He was a good and cool guy. If they aren't killing people or animals for the research, what's the problem?

stem cells are specialized cells that have the ability to become any type human cell. Stem cells are NOT brain cells. When the sperm fertilzes the egg and the egg begins to divy up those first building blocks are stem cells. They could become any type of human tissue (maybe not red bloods cells, they're kinda differant). The idea is that if somebody has a spinal cord injury (like christopher reeve) stem cells could be transformed in to new spinal cord cells. This applies to any damaged cells a person may have that the human body can't naturally regenerate (ie: neurons in the brain). Stem cell research could bring many groundbreaking new cures to diseases. The main debate surrounding them though is that pro-life types beleive that using a fertilized egg for research is murder. I don't personally agree, but what ever to each his own I guess

so everybody can see it>>>the sentence reads,"Stem cell research COULD bring many groundbreaking new cures to diseases.at this point,it has not.

I think it's still an important study and am all for it. I know some people will benifit and theses people are alreay living for manys of years who deserve a second a chance. How they use this new technology will be a bigger issue I beleive. I hope it benifits the needy rather than the rich.

In the cycle of reproductivity, stem cell research does not ever complete the cycle. Comes close, but no Cigar.
