What the article fails to mention is that Bush's ban on federal funds for expanding embryonic stem cell research beyond current lines does not apply to this company's ability to privately fund their research. They have their own stem cell banks that they will use. They just needed FDA approval, not federal funds.

The freedom to fail is important. But there is no decency involved in wasting resources on this dead-end process, while all of the stem cell advances have been made with non-embryonic stem cells.

What does same-sex marriage have to do with murdering and/or stem cell research? If you've like to have Texas seceed from the United States, great. Let's give it back to Mexico.

Hilter killed human beings for the advancement of medicine, too. If he were alive today I'm sure he would be happy to be president and CEO of Geron Corporation in Menlo Park, California.

Seriously, are people that greedy and proud that they will do anything, including killing of human beings, to find a cure for horrible diseases and conditions that a century ago no-one would have even survived? Can't we just take a step back and congratulate ourselves on how advanced we are to even keep people with these conditions alive?

Look up the word "passive eugenics". You can read how rational some scientists believe it really is.

It seems to me people are already killing human life in the name of "War." A cell is not a life but it seems to me a young person in their prime sent to war on Foreign Soil for financial capital gain is far more horrific...eh!

stem cell is gone to become a source of wickedness. and Evil like the world have not ever dreamed of or seen. they will make human babys out of this stem cell science. so they can say we can make human beings "not just God". and make themself just as improtant then HIM (GOD). What a day that will be. they will have a body, but not a soul. Man Made. does it have a bar code number on it, will it have a Name or a Number. We are going to Hell in a Hand basket, a educated Man who does not have Christ as Savior. is a Educated Devil. that shore says alot does an it. We are in the End times

You would rather that paralized people die of bed sores (as did Superman) than the cells from a dead embryo be used to cure him.

Your world of fear must be demoralizing even to you. You can't make a conscious decision because there might be another conscious decision to make later on. Fear! Fear!

Daily Horoscope for June 3

Virgo

Life catches you unawares today but for once you don't really mind. A friend is likely to ring up with an exciting suggestion or you could receive a spur of the moment invitation that's too good to refuse. An interesting encounter is also on the cards, especially when you're brought together through unusual circumstances.
