Re: ok
libfemme ( 12/04/2003, 08:48:22 )Well since 'stem cells' are those cells that group naturally in your body and are used to make new cells for you when you cut yourself, grow up, or just shed skin daily, it would impossible for you to live if you didn't have any functioning stem cells.I guess that puts me in favor of stem cells. No one would be alive without them.If you mean do I favor researchers culturing stem cells in the lab, sure why not? Cells are cheap and plentiful. People leave them around all the time, when they skin their knees, any time they bleed in fact. They shed skin cells even more often, leaving them on cups they drink from and towels they use. So what's one more cell cultured over the billions and billions out there?Should stem cells be induced to grow in a petri dish and implanted into a person in order to heal a diseased organ? Well, duh! That's the only way you can heal. Either your body induces your own stem cells to repair the organ in sito, or a scientists can induce them them grow and implant them where needed. Either way it is still a stem cell that grows and repairs you.If you don't agree with inducing stem cells to grow and implanting them, then you're against using someones "hands" doing what your own spleen or liver does on its own. Why is it moral for one organ of your body, your liver, to induce stem cells to grow but not for another organ, your hands, to induce them? An action is either moral for an individual to do or it is not. You can't divide a person up and say it is moral if he does X by his bone marrow, but immoral if he does X by conscious will and handling.The human stem cell thingy mabob is just fine with me. In fact, you are undoubtedly inducing stem cells to grow throughout your body right now! You have my permission to continue.
