| 621715 | 2007-12-16 06:50:00 | I do absolutely. I mean if it can potentially provide a better chance of life for somebody, than I’m all for it. I have no moral or ethical dilemmas with their research. |

| 621721 | 2007-12-16 08:49:00 | Depends how the stem cells are obtained. I'm against harming embryos for the sake of medical research. |

| 621722 | 2007-12-16 08:59:00 | Stem cells can now be obtained from skin, so the "don't harm embryos" folk now have a viable alternative and no excuse to complain :thumbs: | Erayd (23) | ||

Medical Research that could enhance the quality of life of potentially thousands of people. Like people who through spinal injuries have no feeling below the waist, not only can these people not walk but they can also suffer from incontinence. I was watching Attitude, was on Sundays on TV1. One guy said what he would give, just to be able to know when he needs to go to the toilet. Now that would be terrible to live with. I really felt for this guy. This program is full of strong willed people, who are having to suffer through life with such heavy disadvantages, how can we deny them the potential of a better life. I understand your point, but the way I see it an embryo, is not a human. |
