Stem cell research could possibly cure numerous diseases that could go years without a cure, if they ever find one. There are treatments that are possible for diseases with very high mortality rates. I know that the next thing people will say is that you're killing a fetus for the research, which brings in the pro life people. Truth is, you can do stem cell research without killing the fetus. Most people don't know that. Right wing politicians don't want people to know that there are other options out there for the research. I think that the possibilities that stemcell research provide far outway any problems with the reasearch. I'm not going to kill innocent unborn children for it, I'm for the research that doesn't harm the fetus. One day we'll be able to cure Parkinsons Disease, and many many others. I think that this is an amazing opportunity and I support it.

True, and remember, not all stem cells are unborn fetuses. They are present in your blood as well, about one in every 49,000 cells or so holds remnants of the stem cell. It is an amazing thing, and we should harness its strength while we can.

I concur. Stem-cell research is a great opportunity that should be explored.
People say it's killing babies, but there are methods that do not harm or even use fetuses.
We should study it closely and use methods that do not harm living organisms.

I really dunno personally.
I just think of it as using a unborn child to cure the older people.
It doesn't really make any sense but there may be other diseases that go along with it.
I'm just not very sure of myself -_-;

I say yes, but I dont feel the government should be forced to pay for embryonic stem cell research. All the profound things we have stumbled upon while exploring stem cells have come from adult stem cell research. Until a benefit of embyonic stem cell research is found, private businesses can pay the tab.

I agree, it is research, and the government holding that kind of power is...well...dangerous.

If you're not going to add something to the debate, don't post here. This entire subforum is for debate, so unless you've something relevant to post, you should try the spam forum instead. In a debate thread you should at least be somewhat knowledgeable about the topic before you post. The success of the thread depends on it, as a debate will go nowhere without logical arguments based on knowledge of the subject. stare

You just did the same thing
I think that using an stem cell or even an unborn fetus to create a way to save millions of people is a great idea
Think about it for a second OK.
When and if the do use a Human Fetus it is an artificially created fetus made from harvested sperm and eggs. It is not a baby riped from its mother it is an organism that is not yet even self sustaining that wouldn't even exist if it was not for the scientists who are going to use it.
That is like saying that using a dead body for research is wrong. It doesnt change any existing or preexisting life but it can help Millions of future lives by doing it!!!!

The embryos that are used are extras anyway, and are likely to get thrown out. To reduce the argument that it is killing unborn fetuses, just wait to use them until they would otherwise be thrown out.

I think it's funny to go up to paralyzed people and say "We could cure that...but...we care more about an unborn fetus" XP
Really...does that make sense?
Anyways...I have seen people who have gone out of the country, and used this technology to cure paralysis below the waist, and can walk again. People who have not walked in years. I think people who are paralyzed deserve this. ESPECIALLY war veterans. I don't know what people are thinking.
(i don't really say that to paralyzed people in case you couldn't tell.)

interesting take on that
I think it could go much farther than curing paralysis. There is so much that can be done with an omni-potent stem-cell. Their crazy ability to become any type of bodily cell could lead to making organs that would greatly assist people in need of organ donors.

I think people who are paralyzed deserve this. ESPECIALLY war veterans. I don't know what people are thinking. (i don't really say that to paralyzed people in case you couldn't tell.) But unless there is absolutely no chance of the fetus dying, the fetus hasn't lived yet whereas the older person has. It seems a bit unfair for a fetus to have no life just to make someone else's more comfortable. But, like the other people said, research can be done without involving a fetus, so it's not really an issue. Then again, the government probably doesn't want to cure any more diseases because of population explosion and such.
