I suppose artificial or cancerous cells are useful fo research purposes
No I meant as in taking the genetic material from a cell of an adult  who may have severe kidney damage, stripping the genetic information from a human egg cell, injecting the person's DNA into the cell, and starting the process of cell division (uh i think they use nutrients and a few things to do that, i'm not sure of the exact process).  once the stem cells are harvested they are a perfect genetic match of the person who may need the new kidneys.

If it's an exact genetic match your body won't reject it: I mean it's your organ(well uh unless it's that disorder that makes the body attack itself)


QuoteWell of course bone marrow has individually unique properties that can cause incompatible humans to reject them, just like organs, they may also contain certain blood or bone disorders from the person. However if for now it's still experimental, so I don't see a problem with using them.
there is also something related to what the cells can do or something.

I am against creating embryo for the purpose of stem cell research.
okay because they don't do it  akudood;
Quote from: Virgule punctuation mark on June 02, 2009, 04:31:26 PM
I am not however necessarily against the idea of using stem cells of excess embryos, but really if it isn't necessary for most to be created I'm not sure if they should be making so many in the first place.
because fertility clinics go through a whole bunch because a lot of fertility treatments don't work the first time
Quote from: Virgule punctuation mark on June 02, 2009, 04:31:26 PM
By the way on that note, is it necessary for the stem cells to come from a living specimen?
i dunno, but uh do you know of anywhere that stores dead embryos  doodhuh;
Quote from: Virgule punctuation mark on June 02, 2009, 04:31:26 PM
Because if embryos are fair game to science to use, marrow from recently deceased corpses should be as well, with or without permission to donate body parts. (since it's really more like donating blood than a limb)
i uh don't know how well that would work or where you're coming from but let's analyze this
infection is a very serious risk with bone marrow transplants, as the recipient's own bone barrow is usually destroyed weeks before the transplant, which means not many white blood cells and friends
meanwhile, in the potential donor blood stops pumping, the immune system shuts down, all sorts of undesirable pathogens roam the streets and set vascular cars on fire
this is bad news for the recipient because sure their leukemia might go away but they will also die  akudood;

the more you know, the fewer silly non sequiturs you make akudood;

I knew that, but some groups are still rallying for it.

Yes, but viable sperm and eggs can easily be stored for prolonged periods of time under the right conditions, it only takes a few days for fertilization to take effect anyways, so why not just create as needed for efficiency's sake?

I pretty much mentioned that just a bit ago, i didn't mean for clinical use, only for testing purposes.
Perhaps i am mistaken though, I don't really know much about the actual process of stem cell research, I apologize if i said something unusual in that regard.

I may be subconsciously trolling as well, not sure.

that's a question for the fertility clinics, not stem cell research supporters  akudood;

Of course it still has supporters
not only has it been done in the past http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1P2-336779.html

but there are still proposals up in the air.
http://erlc.com/article/life-digest-britain-to-weigh-embryo-creation-for-body-parts/

as well as bills for the creation of animal human hybrid embryos for research.

that would seem to be more for the generation of personalized body parts, not stem cell research in general

Ooh, wow...

Personally, embryonic stem cell research shouldn't be used. I don't think it's fair for the innocent party to have to sacrifice itself without even it's own opinion on the topic. It's not fair to the baby. It has a soul, and a heart, and a brain, just like we do, except the heart and brain just take a little time to fully develop themselves.\
So...

How many "innocent babies" made through in vitro fertilization are you willing to save? I doubt your wife is going to want to be impregnated with them.

I have no objection to any of it's forms.  Research and development of their use should be pursued ardently.

Well, it's still a human, brought into the world by humans. It is the equivalent of murder.
If that's how you feel, then it's not much of a stretch to say menstruation is murder. By your logic, blastocysts are humans; therefore, we can assume that an unfertilized egg cell is half a human. Ergo: Whenever a woman has her period, she is killing half a human.

Jesus Christ.  If women are killing this many half children, think of how many men have killed. O_O
