Embryonic stem cell research

Thanks for proving my point. They wait until they become embryos to f*** them over rather than (as you said) cut them up at an earlier stage. Which proves that you are wrong in the fact that they aren't blastocysts when it happens. Which you suggested.
They removed the inner cell mass from the embryo at four to five days, and culture those cells. At that point, they are growing stem cells, not an embryo.

Just becuase a website says that you believe that will always be the case? That's naive. But, let's pretend it will be the case. If I have a girlfriend that's ok with me abusing her, does that make it right?
Abuse? You're an idiot. No nervous system, questionable viability, not a person yet, there is no abuse. If, as I'm guessing is the case, you're mother smoked crack while she was carrying you, that would be abuse. A five-day-old lump of cells? Not to me.

Why, your link just proved to me you were wrong on the front they are blastocysts. Oh sure, they may harvest them at that point, but they are waiting and nuture them until they are embryos. This is no different than raising cows for slaughter.

If you cut the skin off an apple, it's still an apple. Which is being done here. No difference. The whole damn point is you're stopping a kid from developing. The stem cells are still growing, they are just not given the proper environment to grow in. You conveniently call it a "cell mass" to cloak the fact you just fucked up a kid's chance to fully develop. And notice the little point you skipped over (probably on purpose). You article didn't mention anything about the embryos being discarded, just donated. You can't argue the point they would've been positively discarded otherwise. And if assumption is the basis if your logic, you're dumber than I originally took you for.

Wow, you can't make the correlation, big surprise there. It's not whether or not YOU think it's wrong. It's whether or not you think it's ok because she doesn't. Do I have to pull out the crayons to explain the rest of it?

You're just a few thousand days old lump of millions of cells. What's the difference, you can see and talk? You sure as hell can't listen, so we can't count that. I'm willing to give you up for science.

Okay, I personally am for the research, but I'm not going to get in a huge debate. The one thing I wonder is how those who are against stem cell feel about those embryos that are never used. yes, they have the "potential" to become a full fledged human being. So, if we don't implant them and give them every opportunity to grow, isn't that a violation of constitutional rights? Restricting their right to life, liberty, and such? I am curious...just a thought. but then again, I'm drinking. don't worry, not vodka.:-D

I did some what misread your response, so sorry that my own was not as coherent as it could have been. The point I was trying to make is that you cannot justify the research on the basis that pregnancies sometimes fail of their own accord. All pregnancies ultimately "fail" for one reason or another, but we don't legitimize scientific research on adult humans because of that. In any case, what is to stop a clinic from purposefully producing far more fertilized eggs than they will actually need for pregnancy in order to supply the stem cell research?

That's a good question. IMO if it was grown inside an human being first, then yes we are because we took it out and messed up it's chances for life. If it wasn't, then it's not human. Of course, that brings to the plate the cloning issue. But, my personal definition of human involves starting off inside a human - no matter the development stage.

Allow me to interject a personal opinion here. A fetus can be proven to be alive by subjective standards. In function at that stage it is no different than any mulicelluar life form with one outstanding difference. It has the POTENTIAL of becoming a human. It is the only object in the universe that does have that property. It is unique and as such should be viewed in perspective of its potential outcome. Richard Suppose you were an idiot...

Looks like you're also failing to understand Mill. Government should keep people from harming each other's person or property. Period. Nothing more. Is that stripping the people of their powers to legislate? Legislate indiscriminately and oppressively, maybe.
espeir wrote:
You are also hypocritical in that you state that people should be prevented from displaying the 10 commandments on public property, even though this directly contradicts the "harm principle".
No hypocrisy at all, just more misunderstanding on your part. A display of the ten commandments on government property -- especially at a courthouse -- is a statement of intent by the government to violate the harm principle. It would indicate that the government considers it to be wrong for me to covet my neighbor's ass, or take the name of the Lord, their God in vain, when neither action harms anyone.

Libertarianism (especially your corrupted version) is compatible with human only until someone decides to make his front lawn a garbage dump.
Exactly how does my neighbor making his lawn a garbage dump not harm me? Strict libertarianism is only slightly more practical than Communism; in fact, pretty much any pure system or ideology has flaws that make it impractical and impracticable in the real world, including pure democracy, hence, our representative republic. Those flaws are usually qualities of the people who are subject to the system. That said, the closer we can get to the libertarian ideal while maintaining social order, the better. Hard to do with a complex system, and compromise is necessary along the way, but minimal government -- at all levels -- should be the ideal. As an individual, don't you find it difficult to argue against individual liberty.

I guess I'm thinking of embryos created for invitro (spelling?). A lot of times they make lots of embroyos in a petri dish and only implant a certain number. If it's successful, then the other embroys just stay in dry ice for a certain number of years.

Let me begin by saying that I know nothing technical whatsoever about this subject. Personally, I oppose it because I find it absolutely immoral and a bit sci-fi bizarre to kill one person to medically benefit another (it's like soul-sucking or something). But there is something I else that I find quite politically bizarre, and that's the left's unwavering support for federal tax dollars (which basically only benefit big pharmaceutical businesses) for something that is really very unproven. This morning I was stuck in traffic for an hour and wound up listening to a conservative radio show (not Rush Limbaugh...and believe it or not I don't typically listen to right-wing radio) and they had called an MIT professor of molecular biology to discuss the topic. He said that he was once enthusiastic about embryonic stem cell research, but had changed his position a few years ago because embryonic stem cells always result in tumors when applied to adults. Apparently adult stem cell research has the same benefits without this problem. More interestingly, he said that numerous successful treatments have come from adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells have to date yielded no results. Pharmaceutical companies are also investing heavily in adult stem cell research, but not embryonic stem cell research. This professor's assertion (which may be in dispute...as I'm no expert I can't say) supports a suspicion that I've held for some time. I think the left has irrationally attached itself to embryonic stem cell research not because of the potential but because of its association to abortion. In other words, by attaching the concept of "life" to abortion, it confuses the issue to where abortion is no longer merely justified by "personal choice", but implies that those who oppose abortion are actually anti-life (thereby reversing the political position on the issue). In other words, the current "pro-choice" crowd would become the "pro-life" crowd and the current "pro-life" crowd would become the "pro-disease" crowd. That's my crazy theory for the day.

As I see it, In Vitro Fertilization doesn't count because the process still starts off with a woman's egg and a man's sperm. The eggs just don't appear out of nowhere. IVF basicaly means they put a man's sperm and a woman's egg in a dish and let it do it's thing, thus it still started off inside a human and counts as human.

Well, I don't know the validity of this, and I have mixed feelings on it but will refrain for drawing too much of a conclusion until I know more about it. I can say that the link that pointed to the NIH did refer to patients donating embryos for stem cell research directly (or so it seems) rather than this means, but then again I'm not sure this isn't the case as the link was vague on it (probably intentionally). As it stands though, I personally do not think that over fertilizing embryos a plenty on a hit and miss situation is a good thing. And I don't think life should be marginalized because petri dish A kicked off before B did. That means we're playing God. It's the start a bigger process that will go way out of scope of this thread, but suffice it to say that progression and change do happen and it's not always a change for the better.
