Adult stem-cell lines,have been found to be more promising than fetal lines
hah no, they haven't. Where did you hear this? From the voices in your head? A fetal line isn't what I was talking about anyway, I was talking about embryonic stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are harvested from the inner cell mass of the blastocyst 7 to 10 days after fertilization. Fetal stem cells are taken from the germline that will make up the gonads of aborted fetuses. Umbilical cord blood contains stem cells similar to those found in bone marrow, and up to ten times as many of stem cells can be harvested from a placenta as from cord blood. Thats alot of stem cells if you put the last to together with the embryonic ones, or the fetal ones. Embryonic stem cells are more promising then adult stem cells because adult stem cells can't be made to form dopamine producing neurons, where as embryonic can. Stem cells which originate from embryos are seen to have the most potential because of their totipotent propertiesā??they are able to grow into any of the 200 cell types in the body. Adult stem cells have not yet been identified in all vital organs. In some tissues like the brain, although stem cells exist, they are not very active, and thus do not readily respond to cell injury or damage. Scientists are now also exploring ways in which they can induce the stem cells already present to grow and make the right cell types to replace the damaged ones. Although scientists can grow these cells in culture dishes, they can do so only for a limited time.

As for abortion,it's murder--plain and simple...the soul enters at conception.
"The soul enters the body at conception" Don't let your religion get in the way of your thoughts. Every major religion has commited murder countless times, to get rid of things they don't want. Romans killed christians (I don't know if there is a real name for the religion of rome before christianity, I think everyone just calls it roman mythology.) Muslims killed christians, christians killed muslims, everybody killed jews, jews kill muslims, hindus kill muslims, muslims kill hindus...etc.

The main reason women get abortions,is because they have failed to be personally accountable for their sexual promiscuity.
No shit? Well I'll be damned, never would have thought about that. Some women get abortions because their husband left them after they became pregnant and they have no money/no way to get it, she doesn't think she is going to be able to just give it to an orphanage after she sees it's face. Oh here are some people that could('ve) be(en) saved by embryonic stem cell research.
Sedater18 Reviewed by Sedater18 on . Debate time for me, LT, and anyone else compotent. Stemcell research and abortion I'm bored (and I promised LT a debate, sort of) so I want to see what you guys think about stemcell research and abortion. I personally am pro-both. I dont think it is killing a fully sentient child if it is done early enough, especially stemcell. Post your feelings if you will. Rating: 5
