Stem Cell Research
I'm sure this has been covered before, but I would like to know what everyones viewpoint on stem-cell research is. Try to leave politics out of it and give your personal view...not what the talking heads say, but what you think.
As for myself, I used to be opposed to stem cell research. Due to some medical issues in my family, which would benefit from stem cell research...to the point of a possible cure...I have changed my view.
If you, or a close family member, was diagnosed with a disease that could benefit from stem cell research, would you be in favor of the research? Would that have any bearing at all on your position?

I am in favor of it, but may be a bit bias, due to the fact that I have type 1 diabetes, and know other people (some family, some not) that are also diabetic...so, solely for that reason, I am very much in support of it.

As a fellow type 1 diabetic, my views are the same as Nathan's.

President Bush Is The First President To Provide Federal Funding For Embryonic Stem Cell Research
In 2001, President Bush Set Forth A New Policy On Stem Cell Research That Struck A Balance Between The Needs Of Science And The Demands Of Conscience. In this new era, our challenge is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning practices that violate the dignity of human life.
- When The President Took Office, There Was No Federal Funding For Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research.
- Under The Policy Announced Five Years Ago, This Administration Became The First To Make Federal Funds Available For This Research. Federal funding was made available for research only on human embryonic stem cell lines derived from embryos that had been destroyed before the announcement of the President's policy. The Administration has made available more than $90 million for research on these lines, allowing important research to go forward without using taxpayer funds to encourage the further deliberate destruction of human embryos.
It was allready funded by your favorite president......Bush. Im all for it. Its too bad that its become politicol. It is allready going on and funded. We just dont harvest them. A lot of people probably dont know that because it doesnt fit the smear agenda that Bush is anti-science.

I'm not religious so I'm in favor of it as long as we don't use it for cloning humans or harvesting babies in test tubes solely for research.

I feel like not doing it is like drawing a line in the sand of human progress. Why the hell not?

exactly. me too. the whole debate is a farce. It has disappeared now that Obama is in office. The left would have evryone beleive that we had the technology to save evryone in the world and that evil bush was just intentionally killing people because Jesus told him to. LOL!!. It was all BS. He actually promoted stem cell research. I guess the facts finally killed the smear. IDK what is going on with it now.
