Stem Cell Research

[Kysaara]

yeah I can honestly say that I don't know much either, I don't really want the killing if you can avoid it by taking the umbilical cords, after all there are quite a few more babies born that used for stem cell, so the scientists could be up to their ears in the cords without killing/destroying babies/cells or whatever  

[RenFlower]

I agree with that. But can you really get all the necessary stuff with only the cords?  

[Kysaara]

that's what I heard but, if anyone knows for sure that would be better...  

[RenFlower]

I looked it up. I don't completely understand it, but i think that the cord cells only carry one category of stem cells.

There are other ways to get these cells than by killing innocent children. You can get it from the umbilical chords as someone already said, or from the placenta after birth. The same stem cells found in aborted babies can also be found in these thing. So there is no reason to kill these poor children

Still, think of all the benefits and lives that would be saved. Isn't it worth it?

and if it doesnt work, millions killed... and its not like stem cell research on embryos is the only way

I agree with 117, plus humanity has survived without stem cell research for thousands of years, we could be fine without it.

Yep!!! to top this subject off I was reading yesterday

'If your Pro-life and wrong, you at least thought you were saving lifes

If your Pro-Choice and wrong, you slaughtered millions'

So isn't it better to be Pro-life and wrong???

I'm pro choice and correct.

If that was true, why would they continue to do this?

honestly...because it costs less money and it's easier to do.

Oh....thankyou. But I'm pro choice, not that I'm like, "Kill that damn baby!!!!" I'm not sure about this stem cell research matter....

So can you come up with an absolute argument then that rules out any chance that you could be slightly (or in my opinion all) wrong?  

[singin4Christ]

i'm all for stem cell research as long as it's not embriotic stemcell research. stem cells as was said earier can be found in the umbilical ord but they can also be found in fat. and we all know that the US has a surplus of that. My uncle was paralyzed and even he was against it. even though it may have saved his life he didn't want children to die because of it. i side with him. there are other places to find stem cells.

Finally someone who admits a 'fetus' is equivalent to a 'baby' that's prochoice, although I completely disagree with him, and I understand you said you AREN'T like 'kill the d*** baby' ~!!!  

[RenFlower]

So...we should just let the aborted babies die useless? At least this way they are useful in their death.  

[singin4Christ]

no. many of the babies used in the testing are created in a lab. they are being created so they can die. there is no cause noble enough to kill millions of children.  

[RenFlower]

So your saying that you would rather them not come into existance at all? I think it would be better that they serve a perpose rather than never existing at all.
