But the research is controversial because days-old embryos must be destroyed to obtain the cells.

murder: killing an innocent person when you have the ability not to kill that person.

person: someone with unique human chromosomes that will continue to grow if provided with nutrition and protection. The only reason to suggest ANY other definition is to justify killing other people.

child: a person with 2 parents

abortion = child murder

Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Look down there. Would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever? If I offered you 20,000 pounds for every dot that stopped, would you really, old man, tell me to keep my money? Or would you calculate how many dots you could afford to spare? Free of income tax, old man, free of income tax. The only way you can save money nowadays. ~ Harry Lime

Teapot. Jubejubes. Jubejubes in a teapot. A teapot for tea, but with jubejubes in it. Office, submarine. You see, here in this Fark thread, we like to look at the world in a fresh and exciting way. The imagination is a dying animal. But here in the Fark thread, we like to feed that animal, and give that animal room to roam. Office, submarine. Can you guess what I'm wearing for underwear?

The body of a guitar! The body of a guitar in the place of underwear. Office, submarine! Creative Possibilities! Did I mention the imagination is a dying animal?

I America, stem cells aren't gathered from abortions. They come from invitro fertilization. Generally when this procedure is done, several eggs are fertilized. But on average, it only takes 2-4 tries for the couple to conceive. This leaves them with several leftover eggs. These can either be flushed or used for science.

Nowhere does abortion ever enter the equation. And since these eggs are donated, nowhere can families "get rich quick" by selling their invitro eggs. Whenever I hear someone arguing against stem cell research, these are the two largest talking points: abortion and "baby farmers."

In short, abortion and stem cell research are two entirely separate issues. Never does one affect the other. You can be as anti-choice or anti-life as you want. Just get your facts straight first.

She apparently took all but one joke with her also. If someone covers each Obama thread with a teleprompter crack from now on he can save himsef $5 a month and save up for some new material.

Yeah, that's what has really bugged me about fundie opposition to stem cell research. They were protesting research on embryos that *were going to be destroyed anyway*.


So basically they were saying "just throw that future-baby in the trash instead of trying to cure horrendous diseases with it and thus validating the sacrifice of its potential life". Seriously guys, what the fark?

BobtheFascist: Are you surprised? It's no different than when "Bush stops federal funding of stem cell research" turned into "ZOMG! BUSH BANNED STEM CELL RESEARCH!!! WHARGGGBBBLLL!!!"

Given how much medical research is federally funded, it effectively was a ban. It set us back years in the United States; there's a reason most of the good science is coming out of South Korea and Germany.

Bevets: person: someone with unique human chromosomes that will continue to grow if provided with nutrition and protection. The only reason to suggest ANY other definition is to justify killing other people.

So cancer is a person, then.

You're functionally retarded.

I want to know if "ho ho hold on... Hold... Hohohohold on" was actually on a teleprompter at any point. I jest, of course.

Good to see some scientific advancement in this country for a change (we can believe in).

So if you cause legislation to be enacted that results in 15 year old girls bleeding to death on the street, does that make you a murderer?

Another question. If abortion is illegal, what should the legal penalty for a woman who undergoes an abortion?cheshirecatsmileyface: SouthernManDunWrong: the way it came out without his pet teleprompter, "I, uh, er, uh, uh, er, uh, am pleased, er, uh, uh, er, to announce that it is okay to uh, er, uh, um, um, er, uh, to uh, um, um, er, kill babies for there stem cells today."
