Question

now tell me why you are against it???

Answer 1

I have read it very carefully and i have come to the conclusion that it was a bad link.

Answer 2

You posted a bad link.

Beyond that, I am for stem cells as they saved my life.  I had a stem cell transplant (the medically accurate name for bone marrow transplant) last summer to treat my leukemia.  I used cord blood, donated by a special mother after a healthy and live delivery.  I am now cancer free.  You can read more about the sources of stem cells used in this transplant at http://www.marrow.org which is the National Marrow Donors Program for the Us.  They also have links to other countries and transplations into several other languages.

As far as embryonic stem cells, which is the contreversial part...   Embryonic stem cells have actually proven to be unstable and useless.  Embryonic stem cells have not been used succesfully to treat anything.

However, just so the facts are there..  Once the embryo has a certain amount of cells, stem cells can be harvested with no harm to the embryo.

Beyond that, Roe v Wade has not been over turned.  It is my personal belief that if there is some way we can make these small lives that no one wanted mean something, then we should.  Stem cells isnt it, but I think we are loosing a lot by not using the aborted embryo/fetus in research.

And most people do think that.  Most people arent really against using embryos that are aborted anyways.  Instead they fear that in the future women will be paid to have abortions, or there will be a huge black market for embryos/fetus.  Because of their fear, they refuse to allow the first step.  And I somewhat share that opinion.
