Simple enough, are you for, or against?

Reasons? Advantages and disadvantages?

Also, some news

Im fine with it, if it is used for the good.

Completely for it.

Lol. Wtf? No scarring and completely healed after 4 days? I don't care what we have to do to make stem cell research happen, but we need to do it. Religion acts like it's a taboo. Even some people against abortion are against it somehow. Seriously, this is the next step we need to take to bump up our civilization. Let's do everything it takes. This has been a no-brainer for like 10 years and it's finally catching on.

Definitely for it. I personally don't know of any cons, but if there are any, the pros surely outweigh them.

There are always cons and someone will always try to use something good in bad purposes, but doesn't mean science shouldn't keep moving forward.

Some people take issue to them coming from zygotes. But researchers are supposed to be making progress in getting them from wisdom teeth and umbilical cords and things like that, and if they manage it I don't think there'd be any room for argument, if there was any to begin with.

It could be abused, but then most scientific/medical breakthroughs could be. It's a risk worth taking.

I'm fine with it. For all the people who complain about the natural way of life, try saying that that when you're the one with cancer.

Although, the ability to control what your baby looks like/can do is what scares me a little. Getting rid of disease/disorders is fine, but that stuff in my opinion shouldn't be messed with.

Imagine if your parents wanted you to be black. Lol?

I wish my parents made me black, I'd be ghetto as hell. Plus, I'd be a couple of inches longer, HIGH FIVE :lol:

So why try to improve anything ever? Pretty much every advancement has a negative use for it. Nuclear power, the internet, automobiles, even medicine. They all can have harmful effects on us when used too much or in the wrong way. Nuclear bombs, identity theft, global warming, and drugs all arose from us using these amazing discoveries the wrong way.

wouldnt you say this can be much more dangerous?

I don't think anything that could come from this could be any more dangerous than nuclear weapons, environmental problems, etc.

Yeah.

I'm for it.

So, over all most if not all of you are for?

Good deal.

It's kind of boring when we all agree.

Yeah, well,

some one should disagree for the sake of disagreement :lol:

I tried to somewhat disagree when saying I don't want baby genes to be messed with :lol: (with the exception of removing potential diseases/disorders).

I disagree with all of you.

Actually, I fully support Stem Cell Research, but I disagree with all of you regardless.

I dno, go with it.

ZOMG ITZ EVUL! YOO R KILLING BAYBEEZ!!!!111!!!! [/Disagreeing for disagreeing sake :awesome:]

But seriously, I don't understand the problem with stem cell research. If it's helping to finding cures and healing burns like it did in the OP's video, then I'm for it. I'll probably get massacred at home though if I told my folks that though.

Ya im for it. I hate it when people use the excuse that it goes against the natural way of life. Fuck that, if my friend decides to be a dumb ass and throw gas on a fire and a get sever burns from my head to hands, I would want this shit and so would anyone else. I think if people say that it goes against the natural order then those people should never be able to take medication for any sickness or even advil for a headache. See I was born with only 1 full arm. If stem cell research could give me another arm then sign me up!
