Stem Cell Research?

Question

Are you for it.. or against it?

and why? please explain thoroughly.

I'm doing a survey on this for school and I'd like to get as many opinions as possible. Thank you!

Answer 1

I'm for it. I know damned well that if I got some horrible disease, I'd be on a plane to Germany toot sweet for treatment.

Answer 2

I am a conservative and I am for it based on one thing. let the drug and medical companies pay for the research themselves. We have been dupped by them long enough. For example, who do you think most likely paid for most of the drug research done in this country? Yep! Us, the tax payers. That goes to most universities and drug/medical companies as grants. Then when they discover some miracle drug what happens? They sell it at a marketable price. We know that some of the same drugs can be bought through outside countries for a lower price than we can get it right here. Do they pay back the grant from their profits? NO! So, let them pay for it and profit from it.

Answer 3

Against.  I don't believe in "growing people" to be used as tissued samples for those who want to unnaturally extend their lives.  If this isn't vampirism, what is?

Answer 4

The old way of takeing stem cells is contravershal, they now can turn skin cells to stem cells, this is a discovery like turnibg lead to gold.
