Stem Cell Breakthrough!

[moot]

Hmmm.. A one armed handicap who regularly goes to a Spermbank, CA. abortion clinic... that's a tough one to crack.

Not necessarily.

I have "faith" in the ability of the lunatic fringe to obstruct progress in the US with lawsuits / 'fetus in a jar' rallies and all that. And I'm sure they'll use the tried and tested intimidation tactic of going out of their way to shout their opinions at people when they go to the docs office... nobody knows how accessible a stem cell treatment will be here in the US if zealot panties get in a wad.

I might not be forced into travel, but I'll bet I'd have to wait a lot longer... I'd rather get treated in Singapore than wait for the politicians and fetus in a jar types to hash out the ethics of what is basically none of their business.

If they break out a new stem cell derived radical treatment in Singapore tomorrow, I'll be there next week rather than sit around hoping a bunch of opinionated strangers won't get in my way.

I guess you missed his complaint about being inconvenienced every time he visited an abortion clinic? What is that about? Does he work there as a baby killer or is he a she and just very promiscuous? I took it as calloused joke and responded in kind.

I live a lifestyle you're obviously not aware of; that of a sexually active male... you should try it.... with a girl.

You don't have to be a stud either, just be willing to buy the same chick a few shots of Jagermeister at last call and offer to drive her home by braille w/ the promise of a few bumps...  

As Stanhope would say "I look at a cold sore like a skate boarder looks at a skinned knee"... I enjoy all that fun stuff that turns urine samples cloudy. Plan B pills, a few abortions, trips to buy dry ice every 3 months... nobody gets hurt or forced into doing anything they don't want to do, its all legal... and none of the church's business. Plus it leads to some good stories, a-lot more interesting than who won the church bbq bingo game or how old Ida saw the virgin mary on a grilled cheese sandwich.

Yet some church folk show up all angry with posters of naked children, up in my face shouting opinions I obviously don't agree with, or care about... all while I'm legally minding my own business... thats what I take issue with.

If that makes me a baby killer thats going to hell, fine, I accept... do I get a t-shirt or something?

Killin' babies is what makes one a baby killer. Not much of a challenge so no t-shirt. Neither I nor anyone else on this earth decides your afterlife.

Just to be clear... you guys do know that stem-cells are in fact CELLS... not children right?
I mean they're not even zygotes yet for pete sake

Are we banning condoms too?

The man in Waco, Texas, claiming to be Christ and leading his followers  into a battle with police, Muslims who bombed the World Trade Center, David Koresh who claimed he owned more then 140 wives and claimed he was entitled to all women in his compound, those are what you call "religious wackos". When one does not believe in abortion or using the embryo of an aborted fetus for medical research, that does not make them a "religious wacko".

We can have many debates as to ones beliefs, but the reality of it all is we are all given chose. Chose to believe in what we feel is right or wrong. I am not for using fetus embryo's, but I am for stem cell research that does not require a aborted fetus to obtain it.

I have a crushed ulnar nerve which is not fixable by medical standards, the pain is sometimes unbareable. I would rather live with the pain then have a fetus aborted. Knowing there is a new breakthrough using skin, is exciting news!

There's nothing arguable about belief.

Just to be clearer, the casual reference to abortion clinics is what prompted my comment.

Do you have any sober friends?
