And yet again... Google is a good thing...

Oh yes ...Google is infallible, thats right ......

Oh yeah and the media is always correct about every fact !!!!

Depends on what sources you choose after googling...
Some common sense and a critical mind will help you select the ones that tell the truth...

Stem cell research is not about conspiracies or morality. It is simply about advanced medical solutions to health problems. It promises to be a huge boon for human suffering and an advance for humanity. Nearly a thousand years of the western world was once plunged into obscurantism. It was the Dark Ages. It was dominated by the church doctrine and faith choked humanity into submission.

A thousand years!! You think there aren't vestiges any of that dark mentality today? Of course there are and there always will be. Even as we are born with the aid of modern medicine, live in comforts provided by science, are educated in science and the learnings of the Enlightenment, produce, have justice and peace, technology and medicine all striving to better human life there will be tendencies to regress and deny progress and happiness to our existence. We know more about that dark age and that mentality today. It is a choice we make when we seek one path or another.

To deny stem-cell research is to repudiate everything that has given us a better life, decency, happiness and a way out of hopelessness.

Stem-cell research is going on right now. The debate is over adult stem-cell research versus embryonic stem-cell research. As I have stated before, adult stem-cell research has already come up with cures and treatments for quite a few ailments. Embryonic stem-cell research has shown nothing in the way of a cure or the hopes of finding any through them.

I've been accused of being ignorant already so here goes, how do they harvest adult stem cells? And if they can do that why bother with the other?

I will admit that I was wrong... and you're right!

But there was a case here some years ago, a 6 year old boy with Thalassemia (even managed to spell it right today), where the family got dispensation to sort the mothers eggs, and implant healty eggs into her. It caused the law to be changed here... The child was going to the US to be cured, with the cells from his brother/sister, or at least they were going to try. Unfortunately the mother lost the baby about 2,5 months before it was due, and no stemcells were saved.

Thank you. From what I have read, if stem-cells can be used to treat and/or cure thalassemia, the best chance is for the stem-cells to be harvested form the person suffering from the disease. Little chance of the body rejecting them that way.

Pardon my ignorance, but won't those cells be "infected"?

My ex wife's sister had spinal Bifida (Spelling check?) and mild Downs. Stem cell research might not have saved her, but the research could help us under stand the desease and prevent it happening to others.

The worry I've heard most is promoting abortions to get the material they need.

Umbilical Chord Blood is just as effective.

I support research, but my worry is that the wealthy will be the biggest benefactors while those who need it the most will go unattended. Thank goodness for the Shriners Hospitals and like organizations who will help anyone. They will benifit from these programs and that's good.

I think children should be helped in anyway possible, but I don't see it working out that way.

Wow, thank you for that comment. I had to look up a couple of words, which is surprising to me, but living and learning is the name of the game.

Quite swaying I must say, no argument here.
