The two different kinds of stem cells are handled entirely differently from a bioethical perspective, not that you appear willing to entertain such differences as long as the right people are annoyed apparently.
Naw, it has nothing to do with Christians being annoyed, that's just a nice side effect. To me, a stem cell is a stem cell no matter how it's harvested since I'm pro choice and pro progress.
Embryonic stem cells have up to this point been all hype and no results.
Maybe if people would stop crying and give them appropriate funding or stop trying to ban them. It's like saying "the mission to mars has been all hype and no results" before anything can even be organized! We are still in our infancy with this shit man, kinda quick to be making such black and white claims I'd say.
If you'd get out of your childish mental lock that science and religion are opposed, maybe you'd have something valuable to contribute instead of your trite, pathetic attempts at trolling.
one is progressive, the other has a rich history of impeding progress. I see a problem right there. I was excited to talk about this publicly with you, not trolling you. It wasn't a challenge or anything.
But no, expecting you to be happy they have found a prospective cure for HIV instead of assaulting religious people would be setting the bar too high I guess.
Read my posts, a little early to be calling it even a prospective cure. It's likely a one of, if I'm wrong I'll be happy for the WHOLE universe.
Bioethics exist for a reason, and it's to prevent the excesses of sadism masked as science.
Curse you, EUGENICS! Technically it's right but morally it's wrong, go figure.
Then do as you will. "For Science" is just as bad as "For God," and infinitely more popular these days as an excuse for barbarity.
I don't think speaking from your standpoint you have any reason to be calling science barbarism; when the scientific method is TRULY applied (not just some moron pleading to science), even the most heinous of crimes can be salvaged as useful. It's like that old rhetoric about the medical testing on the jews in WW2- yes atrocious, but now that it's done to NOT use it would be absolutely retarded. Science unleashed would end up more like Rapture from Bioshock 2, so checks and balances are needed.
btw. Morm my grandfather had AML and died from complications with his weakned immune system, pneumonia, etc this year. Thanks for showing your standard issue compassion, temperance, and reason in dealing with issues like this instead of flying off the handle.
Irrelevant. You are now pleading to my sympathies? It has zero bearing on the discussion; Your feelings are
not an acceptable alternative to empirical evidence in a discussion such as this, nor should they be used to try to manipulate or insult. Sorry that your grandfather died...that's all I can really say, I'm bad with stuff like that as you can probably guess.
In the meantime, welcome back.
Glad you're still around :D. I'd ask how things are...but yeah.
Edit: Lanturn, I had a feeling you did but I wanted to provide the link anyways as spoonfeeding people on the internet is better than arm waving, it's the default I guess.
Edit2: I don't mean to hurt your feelings deck, honestly, I am just horrendously bad at communicating anything but scorn on the net. Don't take it the wrong way, please.
