Things like this is exactly why I think more research needs to be done. This is only a small step in the right direction, but think wat they could be able to cure in the future.

I'm sure Bush would have no problem with stem cells from umbilical cord blood, only from embryos that would require basically an abortion. It has to do with when life begins, not Bush v. Science.

Bush is against government funding of it. If you want to personally finance research, then be my guest.

Now that's something that can make me proud of the human race. That's something I hope goes far.

^ And those babies are forgetting that it's not what their country can do for them, but what they can do for their country.

It's amazing how Scott Peterson was tried for killing his unborn baby, when it happens everyday across the country.

Am I the only person who knows stem cells can be harvested from a patients bone marrow?

Well, he killed the mother too.

If a dead fetus is just going to rot in a dumpster, why not use them for something useful that can change someone's life for the better?

Did you guys read the article? They said it was using stem cells from UMBILICAL CORD BLOOD. NOT embryos. Chaches.

I know, but they felt the need to bring up fetuses for some reason and I felt the need to respond.
