Because they have brain issues and they want to fix them. lol!

They’re all about death of the innocent.

Cuz there wussies who wanna kill lil embreyos but they dont wanna fry criminals an kill terrists.
May 21st, 2010 at 2:30 pm
the same reason they want hillary c to run for prez..they are idiots

Stem cell research is ONLY an issue because it is a corporate issue,
the Pharmaceutical companies are lobbying hard because they want more and more money, they would love to have unrestricted experimentation on live human embryos.
As an atheist, I find there are many ethical questions and implications which should be addressed.
This is not a “conservative religious moral” issue only, as it is made out to be,
but of course Dr. Frankensteins would love to have you think that.
they will get their way, they always do.

Because if these CELLS were people, maybe it would be a different case, but since they aren’t, and for many months do nothing but act as a parasite living off a host, It can be safely assumed that they aren’t killing living human beings… Unless you’re trying to say that Human beings are all parasites??

Read the article next time.
“The other is a compromise measure worked out by Republicans Sen. Johnny Isakson (news, bio, voting record) of Georgia and Norm Coleman (news, bio, voting record) of Minnesota. It would encourage stem cell research on embryos that have naturally lost the ability to develop into fetuses, such as those that have died “naturally” during fertility treatments.
The compromise bill also would support the creation of a bank of stem cells taken from amniotic fluid and placentas — two recently discovered potential sources.”

Because. There are adult, umbilical cord and amiotic fluid stem cells. The pro-ES cell research people dont have much of a case.
May 21st, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Maybe we should outlaw masturbation also.
Stem cell research will save millions of lives.
Those stem cells aren’t humans, just like sperm isn’t a human.
Sounds like your stem cell was contaminated.

They want to save human beings from diseases like Parkinson’s, not destroy them. Stem cells are not fetuses. It is not like aborting a baby at 8 months.

Yuks, another loyal Bushie http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Daily_Show_defines_term_loyal_bushie_0321.html
who cannot explain why stem cells are just thrown away in the garbage, if not used for anything else. The mentality is it is okay to throw the unused stem cell in the garbage, but not okay to use for research because?
May 21st, 2010 at 6:31 pm
WHAT!?!? Look, I’m a conservative, a Goldwater conservative for Pete’s sake. Embryonic stem cell research doesn’t destroy human beings, it uses what would otherwise be medical waste to learn how to save, and prolong, lives.
What do you think, these little preppy conservative girls are having funerals for their abortions? I don’t think so. So, think of it as recycling.
May 21st, 2010 at 7:29 pm
That’s not the case and you know that.
Could you possibly make that question any more loaded or slanted?
This would be such a better venue if people left their snotty political leanings at the door when they came here.

Why are conservatives so eager to sacrifice living adults in favor of fetuses?
This is why some people view fetuses as an adversary. If my needs ALWAYS get sacrified to its needs, I’m not going to feel very loving or protective or happy about it.
May 21st, 2010 at 7:57 pm
because it does not…..get some education you stupid republican.
May 21st, 2010 at 8:52 pm
Ha! Good question! I don’t get it either, but perhaps the same reason stands behind why the majority of Liberals are pro-abortion… it seems they are doomed to kill themselves off one way or another.
May 21st, 2010 at 9:28 pm
With all the human beings out of the way, the liberal species will be free to rule without interference. It’s ridiculous to think that liberals ONLY want stem cell research that destroys human beings. They also want fuel-efficient cars that destroy human beings. And comfortable sandles. That destroy human beings.
May 21st, 2010 at 10:17 pm
Because
“Liberals are always on the wrong side of being RIGHT!
May 21st, 2010 at 10:58 pm
Earth to John….until the US Congress along with the rest of the world decides that science is wrong and embryos are whole human beings, deserving of all rights and priviledges of a person (and remember it took until the 1840 to 1920 for women to be peresons), your question will remain in the theological obscurity in which it now resides. And scientifically most of the stem cells we now talk about are from placental matter and that ceases to be part of anything at birth. Fertilized eggs without a womb are just back up parts.
May 21st, 2010 at 11:04 pm
What would rather they do…fertilize them all & make more babies? Get real.
May 21st, 2010 at 11:24 pm
Why do conservatives only want unjustified wars that destroy human beings?
Your childish logic won’t serve you well in life.
Besides, scientists have recently discovered that amniotic fluid provides many of the same uses stem cells do, so hopefully this will soon become a moot point.
May 21st, 2010 at 11:32 pm
Oh please this is not a liberal issue but a HUMAN issue. Hey since you are incapable of being able to read (Common affliction amongst conservatives). This is from the article:
“”It would encourage stem cell research on embryos that have naturally lost the ability to develop into fetuses, such as those that have died “naturally” during fertility treatments.”"
Where does that indicate destruction of a human being?

From the other side … The frozen embryos are doomed any way you look at it. Their parents put them in a terrible situation and have control over their fate … be destroyed or stay frozen … only a fraction will ever be selected for implantation to even have a chance for life.
May 22nd, 2010 at 12:35 am
stem cell research is done on embryos that are the byproduct of fertility treatment. They make extras in case implanted ones don’t “take.” Once the woman gets pregnant, the extras are stored for a while in case she needs them again. If she doesn’t, they eventually go bad (can no longer be grown into a baby), so before that the parents decide if they want them to be given to infertile couples (a much smaller group than total leftovers), used for research, or tossed. Most end up being tossed.
Stem cells are what the embryo is before it starts to differentiate into different body parts, so if you had biology, it’s like that picture of the literal ball of cells.
No one opposes other forms of stem cell research. The only issue is whether the embryonic kind continues.
I would have more respect for conservatives if they went after the source of all the embryos that are destined for the dumpster–in vitro fertilization. For some reason, they are silent on that. Maybe they are afraid they might not be able to have kids someday and need to use the procedure themselves.
You might want to do some research on this beyond listening to Rush Limbaugh and your pastor. Wikipedia might be an easy place to start:

In vitro and embryonic stem cell research are both sick.
May 22nd, 2010 at 1:16 am
“only” and “destroys” shows this question to be invalid. Please educate yourself before asking such a meaningless and obviously biased question again.
May 22nd, 2010 at 1:22 am
All the neocon Zealots preach that line !! Seems to me that something is not a life until it is fertilized and begins growth as a human being. When exactly is the beginning of life Christian Zealot !!??
May 22nd, 2010 at 1:59 am
You know, you are right. I mean we have all of these embryos at fertility clinics that are already thrown out. I guess embryos can survive in a garbage can or are kept in a secret storage facility frozen so they don’t die. Don’t create embryos just for the stem cells. Just go into the garbage can and use those. (They were going to be disposed of anyways so why not?)

Why do fundies push fantasy programs like “abstinence” but refuse teens access to contraception, with the USA having the highest teen pregnancy rate on the planet?
May 22nd, 2010 at 3:01 am
because they are not satisfied with killing only 40 million babies with abortion.Now they want to turn it into a money making business by breeding women to produce stem cells.
May 22nd, 2010 at 3:42 am
Consider the fact that they need to dehumanize the unborn child to cause less frustration or rage towards abortion. By saying “we must do this to find a cure for such and such” they give the masses a reason to allow abortion. Then from there it becomes a slippery slope.
May 22nd, 2010 at 4:28 am
Because they like throwing money down a black hole.
