an embryo is a fertilized egg?
Or what, maybe Im missing something in meaning here.
I have a question.
What do embryonic stem cells have to do with anything?
There have yet to be any treatments derived from them; nor are any advances being made with them, although there is plenty of private, state and funding from other countries aimed at them.
It is disingeuous, and in this case exploitive, to suggest that because someone opposes federal funding of embryonic stem cell research that THAT person is causing Michael J Fox to spasm uncotrollably - but that is EXACTLY the point being made in the commercials in question.
Adult stem cells? Have shown GREAT promise, and over 50 treatments for various genetic-related ailments are currently under way. IMO, MORE funding for ASC ought to take precedence over any funding for ESC - which seems to be just chasing our tails. (Paraphrased from a discussion with my wife - Ph.D. in Biochemistry with her very own research lab)

You'd rather have them killed.If they are not being used, well sbhould they sit around forever then?Abortions occur with no encouragement whatsoever. Aborted fetuses exist. What else would you do with the aborted fetuses?While we encourage to scoop embryos that have developed more than just embryos, out of people instead?
I understand that, but you seriously don't believe, more would have the operation, after being led to believe doing it would save more lives from the diseases?Abortions occur with no encouragement whatsoever
Yes, so if that's where life begins for you, you might see the stickiness of the issue.
Icky. I didn't like it. So much so, I edited the post to tone it down.
How do people like that stand being so nasty?
I apologize I really am too lazy to study the and rego over the terms and what not.
If that is true, then thats no better.
Im not pro bush on everything, I think his whole deal with this, I think hes screwed up Iraq by playing prevent defense after driving out the insurgents, I dont like his stance on online gambling.
All he is to me is the lesser of two evils.
Not really, but if it does, well -- it is legal and a choice for now. If you think abortion should be outlawed so strongly you should probably be pretty active with the issue, right?

Don't sweat it man. Don't give in to the dark side.
Only outlawed in incest,rape, and after 3 months.
Other than that, regulate it heavily.

Now i know where it came form, Thank you
So there will still be abortions, right?
If it proves well, then, under the guidelines I posted, let em do it.Not really, but if it does, well -- it is legal and a choice for now. If you think abortion should be outlawed so strongly you should probably be pretty active with the issue, right?
These are serious diseases that could be cured, I mean, if someone said, hey, your amputated arm, that is dead from, whatever, could used to cure cancer, are you gonna say,no don't take my arm?
Thats how I equate it.
Sorry if thats too stupid for the enlightened

Whew, felt like I was under a heatlamp there

That wasn't me. It is a very widely known quote tho'.
I've asked Xray before what it's like to be greedy and selfish.
He admitted that yes he is selfish and it feels damn great to be.
He also asked what is wrong with being a little greedy.
In this thread on the homeless.

We all are, we're built that way; it's controlling those impulses, and not letting them control you, that separates the wheat from the chaffe).
If it weren't for greed, this world would be a much different place - and I'm 99.9% sure there wouldn't be an internet around for us to be talking about it.
Gecko was right to a point.
Afraid to break it to the nirvanians, but, not being greedy is a bad thing in the world of business and money.
I hear you, but in the manner in which Xray says these things supports his selfish views, which he admits to having.
Not bad at all being selfish to a point.
Don't go there SA.
