If they can use it to cure Alzheimer's, that would be great. My grandfather has it so bad he doesn't even know who he is and can't even speak a complete sentence anymore. If something is not done now, that will become a huge epidemic for the Boomer Generation. I do not want to watch my dad go through it, nor do I want to go through it.
The 'where does life begin' obstruction is ridiculus. Think about this for a moment:
I go to a supermarket and buy a dozen eggs. After I pay, I walk outside and open
them up. Next, I start to throw them, one by one, out in the open parking lot.
You witnessing this, Would you call the police and report cruelty to animals?
Here is another thought:
What happens if a living human being is taken and locked into a freezer
for a long period of time? It is inevitable the person will die. Well how is it that
fertility clinics can take these embryos, cryogenically freeze them, and keep
them in storage for a number of YEARS? When they need to be used, they are
thawed out and ready for use.
>>> How is this possible? An embryo is not living tissue. If it was, It would be dead
and not good after it is thawed.
Those that are opposed I think are going to change their minds real fast once the
great miracles take place by using them. Personally, I believe these politicians that frequently obstruct the research just so they can get votes from the religious right should be denied any kind of treatment that is developed by research. Sounds harsh, but that is just exactly how I feel about the subject.
