I think Bush is fucking retarted for not letting us use stem cells...but I wont get into that. The number lives we could save with is just incredible.

I dont think I know enough about the consequences of cloning, so for once I'll just shut my big mouth about an issue.

[KRUGERKID13]

stem cell research is a great thing its using life that no longer exists to help those who need help

[KRUGERKID13]

you also have to relise the controversy on this issue. It leads back to abortions and right know bush has to play it safe to ensurre him being re-elected

There is just something horribly twisted about the thought of having another me running around. Unless they could make a female me... then I might be interested. :)

yeah. cloning for body parts such as hearts etc is totaly ok by me. i've heard some groups call cloning replacement body parts barbaric. but i don't see how cloning a replace ment heart for someone is more barbaric than someone going on a waiting list, sitting around waiting for someone else to die so you can rip their heart out and put it in you only to have it rejected a few years down the track. and i don't get any religion groups rejection of it either. the bible says live is a great gift and that we should make the most of it, and enjoy it for as long as possible.
but idon't think someone hovering around another human being waiting for them to die so they can live for a few more years wasn't excatly what god had in mind.

p.s not that i'm against transplants either. but if there is a better way of doing something . with less chance of the organ being rejected we should go that way instead. thats what me thinks anyways

i think the problem that people have with growing replacement arms, hearts etc...

is that u cant just grow an arm, u hafto grow an entire body to get those things. perhaps one day we'll be able to make Just a heart, kidney, just an arm..... but not now..

[wufong]

they grew a human ear on the back of a lab mouse. ear lobe i should say. you know the ear thing on the side of ya head.

[fluffho]

yeh ive seent hat.

its like cartilidge and they just stick it under the skin. so does that mean they cut off the rat skin and give it to you? or just the cartilidge and then stick it under ur skin stretching it out...

anyway, ears are a lot diff than a heart or arm
