[QUOTE="retzam:463265"]PatMeebles said:[QUOTE]Why is everyone so hung up on embryonic stem cells? The only stem cells that have actually shown any results are ADULT stem cells, which have been used to help heart problems and the likes. And the bill wasn't to allow embryonic stem cells; it was a decision of whether the government would pay for it or not. Frankly, I'd like to work with what's actually, you know, been working.[/QUOTE] You can't figure out whether or not they will work and on what without years of careful testing. Stem cell research is very promising, and George Bush is only vetoing this bill to win the favor of the evangelicals and other diehard catholics. Plus, the study of embryonic stem cells as opposed to adult stem cells could give insight as to abnormal cell division and differentiation, which hypothetically could lead to huge breakthroughs in cancer treatment/prevention. I sort of agree with whoever said they were torn between thinking the research is a good idea and the idea that humans shouldn't be living this long and such. It's kind of weird how unnatural human life is now. But anyway, I figure we got this far, there is no point in picking and choosing in what areas of technology we should dwell. We seem to have become a completely technologically based culture, so unless we want to throw it all in the toilet and go back to having 10-15 kids so one or two of them can survive, we might as well plough on ahead into more medical developments.[/QUOTE]
