it's about time. -.-

*sighs* Only problem in this day of age is that if something doesn't get results within X number of years they don't' think it's worth it.

Note: The research benefits other areas of expertise as well. Not just stem cell therapy.

Knowledge is never wasted, and I see no problem with lifting the ban. It was a silly ban to begin with that only allowed for other nations to get a jump start on our own research institutions.

I want my own clone army. ^.^

"Execute Order 66"

why am i not surprised. first he creates big government with trillions in new government spending, then he pushes for the government to control how the entire population lives and dies, now legalizes mass murder. he will go down in history right next to Hitler and Stalin.

yeah 2004 John Edwards, VP candidate of teh Democrat party, said Christopher Reeve would walk if Bush's order were reversed

Not all of it.  There are multiple forms of adult stem cells that can be extracted without the need to destroy embryos.  Some examples would be bone marrow, stem cells from umbilical cords, and there has even been findings of stem cells in fat tissue.  All of these different sources of stem cells have the same qualities as embryonic stem cells.  The only difference would be that embryonic stem cell research is probably further advanced than alternative stem cell research due to previous funding in the program.

Firstly, most stem lines come from excess eggs during IVF. For IVF treatment they generally take 8-10 eggs, insert one or eight if your crazy, and save the rest in case you need to come in again later. Do you know what normally happens to these embryo's? They get washed down the drain for new space eventually. What is so wrong with using these IVF embryo's if consented by the parents? Also, its not mass murder. If that is consider murder, everytime one of your female friends menstrates do you go up to them and say "because you didnt get pregnant you just murdered two children" or every time you jack off "omg im a murderer." I realise they have 3-5 days of fertlisation, but essentially it boils down to the same question.

zidi, you're a dumbass. you obviously know nothing about this, when you use embryo and egg interchangeably.

eggs are no more a human being then any other cell. an embryo is a human being for all purposes other then religious individuals who insist being human requires certain physical characteristics such as a brain or a heart or live birth, but when you start defining humans by physical characteristics, you can start defining them by having certain skin color, height, or weight, someone who supports killing embryos is no better then someone who supports killing certain races, or overweight people, or short people.

All of this is separate research into the topic, with advances that all render moot using embryonic destruction methods. This is a hot topic of mine, so trust me I am informed.

There is about another half dozen methods they have found as well. Ranging from the liver producing stem cells, to stomach fat, to certain tissues (Not of the part that makes you think) in the brain, to a couple more methods.

So Skoe, I think you owe me an apology and a retraction.

Maybe cause government funded research in any field has been a common practice in our society since ancient times?

a fertilized egg has its own DNA distinct from that of the parents from conception.  everything from the fertility of your sperm when you hit puberty 13 years later to your baldness at age 40 is determined in hour one.

It is a matter of scientific FACT that humanity would be more efficient as an organism if it were a society of parthogenetic clones.  If women could impregnate and bear children without men, society could dispense with all the clutter, the violence, and the wasted time of dating, sex, and rape.  This is FACT, so your objections to the Lesbian Bitch State are purely cultural and subjective, and really ignorant of the Facts. Typical penis units.
