What is your stance on stem cell research?

 

[SnowFox]

Christians/Pro life- OMG THEY ARE LIVING THINGS/ONCE WERE LIVING THINGS!!!!


Non Religious/ Pro abortion- OMG WE DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT RELIGION PLUS WE CAN BACK UP WITH SCIENCE!!!

Pretty summed up this thread.

 

[Omie Jay]

i reckon it's very good and should be continued.

We can use this to save lives, limbs and cure diseases. I don't understand why anybody would be against it, really, especially given what can now be done not using ESC.

preventing new creation of life while saving those who are still living.

a great way of trying to supress the population.














well its like inserting $1 or more into the slot every time you die.

 

[JonathanM]

All for it. Research away.

 

[Sprangler]

Thread summary: If anyone is truly against stem cell research they're fucked in the head.

 

[Kwayera]

Let me just make a really big, obvious point: stem cell research does not always involve embryonic stem cells, which was the point I made in an earlier post.

Please do not let this thread be derailed into a thread about population control, abortion, souls, Naziism, etc.

 

[HumanDichotomy]

I'm all for stem cell research.

 

[Omnipotence]

I don't understand why the Catholic Church doctrine deems it has viability because embryos are considered human lives. Its not actually human life yet, it has the potential to be but isn't a human life when a heartbeat and brain activity develops?
I'm not religious but I still feel as though its unethical. This science assignment has got me asking a few questions...

 

[Lentern]

Stem cell research is not a religious issue its a health issue which people;catholic or otherwise should support.

 

[Sprangler]

Thread over.

 

[hotdimsim]

All for it. Stem cells =/= life. In fact, stem cells have the ability to prolong life, and overall increase the standard of living. It would be unethical to stop research into this very important science.

 

[Mudkip94]

I'm pro-stem cell research because Christfags are anti-stem cell research.

Anyway... aren't the embryos spares from IVF which were going to be thrown away?

 

[gouge.away]

as long as the technology is in the right hands, it's all good.

none of this designer baby bullshit, plz.

 

[Rasengan2dabalz]

I'm all for stem cell research. i dont care where the stem cells come from.

Yeah, plus aborted babies.

IMO religion should fuck off away from science. Stem Cell Research is being conducted for the better good of humans/other species. No amount of praying is gonna cure cancer.

 

[bennytheemo12]

im not for it. i dont think humans were every given the right to create life or alter it in any way. the world was vreated perfect and weve already stuff it up big time. now you want to alter human dna to create life? were not god, he have no idea what were doing. its good in theorie but the consequences are great and with the "great leaders" we have now, its the beginning of the end of thw world. her, it if finds the cure for cancer than good job, but everyone was created the way they are for a purpose, why whould you change it?

 

[Sprangler]

..i

..have no idea

 

[Planck]

Genetic engineering is sweet and I, for one, support that shit hardcore.
