Obama lifts ban on embryonic stem cell research

[valvura]

sci-fi fictions will become reality...mutant turtles...mutant monkeys...

embryo = fetus = abortion = sin to humanity = 0 value for LIFE!

[empy]

....and off we go! :rofl01:

please take religion out of this

the whole point of stem cell research is to grow new organs and tissues

like if you need a new liver or kidney, you don't need to wait for a donor

they will just grow one for you in a lab or maybe inject you with stem cells that will regenerate your liver or kidney cells

or if you have a spinal cord injury and you end up paralyzed, they can inject stem cells into you so your damaged spine would regenerate

or if you lost a finger or an arm, stem cells can make your body grow a new finger or arm

for now ang problema nila is stem cells can make cells grow out of control (causing cancer)

i would want to live long enough to benefit from that technology

so mabuti ang ginawa ni Obama

Bush is crazy

God talks to him daw

God told him to attack Iraq

God told him not to fund stem cell research

well the ideology goes this way. you save somebody's life at the expense of somebody else. tbh, i'd rather go for prosthetic than stem cell replacement. but imho, they should research more on prevention or maybe even cell activation or probably even carcinogen/mutagen resistance or maybe even nanomachines!

scientific advancement can't be stopped

if scientists can't do their research in the States, they can always do it in Europe or Asia (Korea, Japan)

Embryonic stem cells, as their name suggests, are derived from embryos. Specifically, embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro—in an in vitro fertilization clinic—and then donated for research purposes with informed consent of the donors. They are not derived from eggs fertilized in a woman's body. The embryos from which human embryonic stem cells are derived are typically four or five days old and are a hollow microscopic ball of cells called the blastocyst. The blastocyst includes three structures: the trophoblast, which is the layer of cells that surrounds the blastocyst; the blastocoel, which is the hollow cavity inside the blastocyst; and the inner cell mass, which is a group of approximately 30 cells at one end of the blastocoel.

ok, we cannot single out Obama's administration as there could be covert advancement in this technology already especially in europe (remember the cloning of "Dolly" the sheep?). it depends on the type, culture & (religious) beliefs of the people who are investing money in this "scientific advancement".

I'm all for family planning, anything that is not yet fertilized, ok pa sa akin. but from the embryo, hindi na malinis concience ko dyan. hehe...

Oo nga, mas ok lang sana nanomachines noh?

the problem is the radicals. what if for example, somebody wants 3 kidneys in the body so that he can all he wants.

or photographer grows a third arm, one for supporting the camera, one for focusing the camera and one for signaling/guiding the model. syempre advantage 'to mas kikita ka ng pera kaysa sa iba kasi multi-tasking. even big business will hire you over and over kasi mas efficient ka.

or the worst, a bi***ual grows two organs. and takes two different ***es at a time.

this is mutant. this is superhero all over. pero kayo na nga nagsasabi, all is done to benefit oneself first.

ang dami ko pa naisip, imagine foot soldiers/commandos with 3 feet. yun nga gagamba kahit anong bilis ng lamok, huli.

Transformer Era begin

puwede din ito. sa tingin ko magsimula ito by adding a USB port on our bodies. in this way, di mo na kelangan bumili ng MP3 or video players or even PSP. translated na kagad ang digital signals sa nerves and sense mo.
