Stem Cell Research

[welsh]

Ok, this came up in my class and I thought it be interesting to hear what you guys think on this.

Some folks think it's the opening of new opportunities in science.

Others think it's another case of science over ethics.

As long as they're not MY stem cells...

Embryonal stem cells? Adult stem cells? Huge difference.
In first case: I'm still not sure, I study biology, not philosophy
Adult stem cells: No problem.

Stem Cells are a valuable research commodity, some day they may be able to use them to replace the lungs i currently enjoy destroying with cigarettes, and the liver i will return to destroying as soon as i get back someplace where i can drink again.



As far as the ethical considerations goes, it's not like those aborted fetus's are useing em for anything. We might as well put them to good use. And as for the whole "abortion unethical" thing. Got two words, grow up. People arent going to stop haveing sex when they know they cant handle children, or arent ready for them. so Abortion is going to happen weather people like it or not.

If you can cure diseases by useing the cell's from a fetus that some harlot aborted, use the cells, That unborn child will have contributed more to the human race than millions of people who, in all fairness, should have been blowjobs to begin with.

Thats my 1.8 cents.

That has got to be the best arguement that conflicts with some of my views I've read. I don't agree with the smoking and drinking, but everything else kicks a's.

Russia is a huge center for not just stem cell research, but stem cell medicine and even cosmetics. We also have an enormous number of abortions, which are still on the rise.

Actually, it seems like a viable economic plan to me. The poor sluts sell their dead unbabies, and the rich sluts use them to reduce the signs of aging. A win-win situation.

I actually accidentally voted "I hate it", when in reality, I "love it."
My opinion on this kind of stuff is pretty much summed up by Yang here:

 

[Bradylama]

Stem Cell research is only unethical in the purpose of stem cell acquisition. If you're aborting fetuses simply to harvest their stem cells, then that's pretty fucking unethical.

The episode of Star Trek: Voyager where they destroy medical research because the doctor that created it tortured his patients in order to find cures was the biggest piece of bullshit ever. Janeway is the most retarded captain ever.

What Elissar said. If you got some stuff just lying around that you could either use for useful research or throw away because it would be 'unethical' to try and do something good with it because of some bs reason, I say use it for research.
