agree with? you mean agree with the results? how can you agree or disagree with stem cell research? i think you mean do i approve of it. of course i do.

Once a technology has been learned, especially in this modern interconnected world, it's impossible to stop. Just because the US wants to regulate and limit research doesn't mean the rest of the world will follow suit. We're going to get left behind.

Generally, the people who are most scared of science are the ones who know least about it.

Why would I disagree with any kind of research. The more we learn, the better off we are.

Researching disease and cures is great. But we should be doing plenty of research into what actually causes disease and stop doing those things that we can control.

Absolutely, I do.

I am not a scientist, however, I use to work for one of the world's leading medical research centers and they were pioneers in stem cell research back in 1995. Because of stem cell research significant contributions have been made in the field of bone marrow transplantation.

Yes

Yes

Yes.

Absolutely. And not just because it is one of rays of hope that might someday treat my SCI. I agreed with stem cell research before my accident. It's one of the most promising areas of medical research for many different afflictions. And I find these so called moral objections against it to be uneducated and based in ridiculous prolife dogma.

Yes. Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Stem cell research holds the potential to cure/treat conditions that may not be amenable to other forms of treatment. It should be viewed as a form of gene therapy and genetics research. Stem cells can come from fertilized embryos. The embryo is not a person, and is under the control of the parent(s) that authorized it to be fertilized. So that person or persons can authorize the use of stem cells for research purposes. It might be possible for women to receive treatment to maximize production of eggs, and donate them to be fertilized for use in research.

I don't know exactly how to say this, but only the two people with direct parental ties should get to say whether embryos can be used in stem cell research. NOT "grandparents," not churches, not legislators; only the two people who can be ID'd as parents should get to give or deny permission.

I am in favor of stem cell research.

Yes, I agree that stem cell research is something that should be pursued.

yes

Yes

Depends on how they are harvested. If they are from aborted clones then no, if they are from the body or some reverse differentiation technique then yeah.

Yes and even the argument that they use aborted babies is no longer viable because they can create stem cells from a person's own cells
