  1. Re:Before anyone starts flaming.. by Troed · · Score: 1 · on Scientists Create New Human Embryonic Stem Cell

    Being able to hear the heartbeat just days after conception is enough proof for me.

    Are you Christian then, since your definition of "proof" seems more based on "faith"?

    The embryonic heart starts beating 22 days after conception, or about five weeks after the last menstrual period, which by convention we call the fifth week of pregnancy. The heart at this stage is too small to hear, even with amplification

    After 12 weeks you can hear it with amplification, according to the above source.

    -- Dr. Spock, stardate 2822.3.    "

    what the hell? first of all, the quotation is from yoda, from star wars . second, the character from star trek is named mr. spock; dr. spock was a noted pediatrician. thirdly, following on from the first two points, the "stardate" you have there is presumably just made up and meaningless. again, i ask: what the hell?

    now, i figure nobody could be that wrong; i figure you must already know all this. but if so, what's the point? is it supposed to be funny? is it just a troll, to get people like me wondering what's the matter with you? what's the point? what the hell?

    I agree with you. I thought it was Yoda, too. In addition, I thought his name was Mr. Spock, not Dr. Spock.

    You just destroyed your legitimacy by special pleading.
    He didn't, however destroy his credibility like that.

    No, as far as slashdot is concerned he did that with his inability to distinguish a well-known childcare guru from a fictional, pointy-eared half-alien science officer.

    Also, Dr. Spock is (was) a pediatrician who influenced the way thousands of us were brought up.

    Mister Spock was the Vulcan first office aboard the Starship Enterprise. I don't believe he ever received a doctoral degree.

    Interesting sig. I think you may mean Mr. Spock, unless the advice comes from Baby and Child Care .
