[quote="Jin-Roh":b3836]Dude!! Didn't you read the Halo Universe 101?! It clearly said that we were outnumbered. This will make us have more numbers in the future so we won't be overwhelmed by our future alien enemy! I changed my mind about over-populating, do it, and we will be victorious in ther galexy!![/quote:b3836]

Ok, not only that was pointless, but just reading that made me dumber.
If it`s our time, then it`s our time, so what....Scientists are basically pussies trying to live longer rolleyes:

Ok, getting back on the original topic, thats great news. That umbilical cord shit is some powerful stuff. I know that stem cell is used alot in cancer research. Hopefully a cure can be found.

Superman would be proud to see this. loney:

*Edit: Remembered his real name, Christopher Reeves*

Precisely. I'm not too well-versed on the mechanics of it all, but it seems to me that this stem cell business is the key to curing alot of major ailments.

Without wanting to harp on, this is the primary thing that annoys me about the religious groups protesting against this. They're dictating whether people they've never met before, and don't necessarily subscribe to the same God as them, are allowed to have access to medical care that can improve their quality of life. For my money, that is just intolerance, and should be fought as vehermantly as possible.

Anyways, that's just my two cents.

Religion has always been a thorn in humanity's side. Of course, the majority
being fucking retarded, we'll never get rid of it. On topic, incredible discovery
by every scientist and others involved in the endeavor: with results like this,
it will become increasingly difficult for politicians to do more idiotic bans that
accomplish nothing more than slow down human technological progress. Yes!

[quote="Grim_Reaper":513bc]before i never really thought that stem cells were such a big deal because they never showed anything like this. now it should definitely become legal!![/quote:513bc]
stem cell research is not illegal in the united states. this was a common train of arguement by the kerry camp. bush has given more to embryonic stem cell research than other other world leader. He does not federallly fund reseacrhing stem cells that werent already dead or going to die. And this only applies to embryonic stem cell research. He fully supports spinal, umbilical, and adult stem cell research.

Dagnabit! You beat me to it. the debate in the election was not about whether it should be legal but about whether the federal government should subsidize it with tax dollars. Isn't President Bush is the only president to sign legislation allowing it? Is this technology so new that President Clinton didn't have a chance to do something with it? Why bash the current administration for not doing enough, when past administrations did nothing. And, dagnabit, if your gonna bash somebody at least get your facts straight. Spinal cord research is legal.

I hope that there are solid restrictions on stem cell research. When you get big money and dead embyros together it is a recipe for disaster. Keep the research going but keep very tight reins on it while it is going on. This is not a religious point of view but a common sense one.

Too bad there is a president who is against it for the USA. EDIT: Buckweed loves cock

he is against it, but he has allowed very little funding.

it all comes down to jesus with that guy biggrin:

the only reason bush has done more is because this type of thing was unheard of in the terms of other presidents.

stem cell research is smart...
