They will use clones that have had the most extreme lobotomy possible.

I wonder what Doctor Who would say about such cruelty...  :apondering:

It would not surprise me, if in 15 years, people harvest stemcells in youngsters, to save them for replacements, if need be. And that the needed organs just can be grown, without needing a human body.

I wonder what the ethic debate will be, when it comes to brain-tissue, and I wonder if that would be possible at all.

I think that time is almost upon us. The stem cell research isn't the problem in many cases, the legislation is.

Indeed, and it will not be invasive for new-borns to have the blood from the umbilical cord taken either. Can be an easy standard procedure.

It will bring interesting questions, gene-therapy in new grown organs will be an option. Will that weaken the human species as a whole? And if so, is that a bad thing, with the current technologies?
And what if there are brain options? The mind boggles.

It is a sad fact that a lot of the current research is hampered by Christian decision-makers.

Not saying that the pharmaceutical industry doesn't need to be controlled, btw. All you have to do is to take a look at Pfizer or Eli Lily.

  Regarding stem cells:  I recently saw an article in a magazine at a friend's house that describes an
  exciting new breakthrough.  If I understand it correctly, some researchers have found a way to take adult cells from almost
  any organ and turn them back into stem cells.  I will try to find the article again.  If true, this is wonderful news.  :)

From my understanding, the most successful results in stem cell based treatments have come from adult cells taken directly from the patient receiving the treatment.

Hush, you ancient punctuation mark.

This thread had every opportunity to lure in the earnest, non frolicking n00b.
After 10 posts they are in, after 80 posts, they will have become as perverted as the rest of the members.

So I shouldn't mention Kit's special thread. :zoinks:

In that case, someone should use this thread for advertisement, to show how upright and moral we are. :angel:

Kit's thread is about common practical healthcare. It is so basic that you can get access to it, without joining and posting ten posts.

This may be outdated info, but I recall hearing somewhere that the stem cell research ban in the USA also applied to stem cells taken from the umbilical chord, or anywhere else. I remember the researcher saying that their research was limited to private institutions and that the government would have to change their blanket ban on stem cell research soon.

I wonder if they have changed that law yet to allow exceptions at the very least, or if it still bans any and all stem cell related research.

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.
