[POLL] Stem Cell Research

[Esperante]

So no miracle cure for you?

[Matra et Alpine]

47, yes, stem cell usage is not all about genetic cloning or manipulation.
It is done currently and success derived usually "naturally harvested" stem cells.

With some controls it is morally and ethically acceptable.

[my porsche]

i think it should be permitted, but VERY strictly regulated, if the ability fell into the wrong hands it could basically give you the ability to design your child, i think using it for curing diseases is great though

oh and im 14

[car_fiend]

18, and i vote yes, as long as it is done in a orderly and proper way.

[Vindesh17]

yes, 17. anyone who says no doesn't know enough about the benefits of stem cell research, the postives outweigh the negatives by a lot.

[Dan Flynn]

Stem cell research has the potential, but not the certainty, of producing any number of scientific advances. I agree that this research should be carried out. (age 40)

You mean bmwpower?

[Lagonda]

20, yes, duh.

[NoOne]

I think the potential good out weighs the potential bad .... I'm all for stem cell research. I'm 37

[Niko_Fx]

Yes, 21.

[nota]

Yes (born in the year of the dog)

I don't care if religious dogmatists restrict themselves to abject pseudo-science like 'intelligent design' or other gobbledygook so long as they confine their archaic beliefs to within the walls of their church. However, whether they like it or not, those fantastical naysayers share a pragmatic world full of untold others (eg: like my dear friend, she will soon die from MS) who put their faith in real science (like stem cell research) to provide real cures to alleviate real suffering

For example!
the world's first-ever cancer vaccine. It proves 100% effective in preventing cervical cancer! It has the potential to eliminate this awful disease within one generation

I think many of you are confusing stem cell research with completed human clones. They are not one in the same.

[taz_rocks_miami]

Yes, the good that can come from it outweighs the negatives. Who are we to say to a person condemed to a wheel chair that we are not going to persue something that could get them back on their feet because some don't fully understand how and when the stem cells are harvested? Under proper supervision, I don't see a problem. I'm 40 BTW.

[Blue Supra]

19, yes, as long steven hawking doesnt start sucking them out of pheatuses (?) necks im all for it.
