An appeals court Thursday lifted a temporary injunction barring the federal government from funding research involving human embryonic stem cell research.
I Google search turned up no positive results of this research in the 7 EU Countries that permit it in 7 years, how ever adult stem cells have been shown to have good if limited results in some cases.
As long as the stem cells used are going to be destroyed anyway i see nothing wrong with making use of them. Life hasn't really begun yet and it's not like they are going to be killing late term viable babies like some murderous Doctors do, for spurious reasons.
Good. The potential for stem cells is very high, and we need to explore every avenue we can.
The Nazi's justified their experiments the same way, high potential and we "must explore everything".

Listen, if you're going to go Godwin, you need to hit it out of the park on the first try. You would've gotten better results with something like this:
Even the Nazis didn't rip children out of wombs to perform experiments on them.
No, just horribly irrelevant.Did I say something that was factually inaccurate?

Only stem cell research isn't seeking to eradicate blacks, Jews and anything that isn't white. Stem cell research doesn't involve tying people to operating beds. It doesn't involve keeping pregnant women in holding cells just waiting to have the necessary materials extracted from them. Do you understand why your comparison is borderline stupid yet? Here, I'll explain it to you. Whenever you compare what Jews, homosexuals, Roma, Christian Poles had to go through under Nazi German to something completely unrelated like STEM CELL RESEARCH your comparison is VERY LIKELY to fail. It's very likely to fail because you're being dishonest and in your dishonesty you are very likely to become ridiculous. Ridiculous to the point where after a while you'd compare anything you disagree with to what the Nazis did. And so we're here. Watching with our jaws wide opened as you compare a 35 year old Jew being torn apart by Nazi butchers to a guy in a lab coat looking through a microscope and poking goo.

Define "late term" and "spurious reasons," and who does this?
I'd hardly call getting cut down while unarmed in one's place of worship in front of his friends and family "getting himself killed".Dr. George Tiller was one and got himself killed for it. He was replaced almost over night.

A pretty ****ing cowardly way to kill a man.
I appear to have poked a raw nerve.
The real truth is, this is a pointless emotional game, there is no need for Gov't Funding of Embryonic Stem Cell research if it is so promising.. oh wait, it's not really. It's just got possible maybe potential and can't get private funding cause it's... just a maybe.
Why are you people so for welfare for drug companies? Cause that's really what this is about.
Save the catty comments for someone who cares.I newver said it wan't cowardly or that it was justified. Try not to project your thoughts and views into anyone else's. So far you missed the point, but I should expect no less.

Biologists at the University of California, San Diego have discovered that a gene critical for programmed cell death is also important in the loss of adult stem cells, a finding that could help to improve the health and well-being of patients undergoing cancer treatment.
"During chemotherapy or radiation therapy that kills cancer cells by inducing significant DNA damage in their genomes, one of the main side effects for human cancer patients is the depletion of their own adult stem cells, particularly the ones responsible for making new blood and intestine cells. So these patients become anemic, lose appetite and a lot of weight," said Yang Xu, a professor of biology at UC San Diego who headed the team that published its findings in this week's advance online issue of the journal Nature Cell Biology. "If we can prevent the loss of stem cells during cancer therapy, that would be very beneficial for these patients."
The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO), a professional organization of member scientists, opposes the Federal District Court injunction that froze federal funding for human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research. ARVO is troubled by this barrier to research that has the potential to restore sight and mitigate eye damage.
ARVO members investigate hESC therapies for treating diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and corneal disease, along with studies related to eye tissue transplantation, regeneration and engineering. ARVO's policy supports technological developments and policies that encourage all facets of stem cell research, including research utilizing hESCs.
A long-held assumption about asymmetrical division of stem cells has cracked. Researchers at the University of Oregon report that the mitotic spindle does not act alone -- that cortical proteins help to position a cleavage furrow in the right location.
Their discovery, described in the Sept. 2 issue of the journal Nature, provides a new window on how stem cells divide to produce two unequal daughter cells: one that lives on as a new stem cell and other, smaller cell, that adopts a new function, in this case as a neuron.
