Paralyzed Woman Walks Again
mgv writes "It's been promised for years, but it's just become a reality. Stem cells taken from cord blood have enabled a paralysed woman in South Korea to walk again for the first time in 20 years. The details are on the Sydney Morning Herald Site which requires registration, but can also be seen on the World Peace Herald. Too late for Christopher Reeve, but not for the thousands of new injuries worldwide each year or the millions of paralysed people from other diseases in the world."
The abortion profiteers seek ways to justify their trade in human flesh.
PRAISE THE LORD!
PRAISE THE SCIENCE!
Science and religion have been at polar opposites since civilization began.
We'd be much further along scientifically if it hadn't been for religion oppressing things like a solar-centric universe, stem cell research, heck even the concept of 0 (zero)! When was the last time religion allowed a person to walk after being paralyzed for 20 years.
Too often the focus of ethics is on the limits to science they establish. Episodes like this show that there can be benefits to working within ethical guidelines. Imagine a culture where embryonic stem cell research was fully funded and other forms weren't. It could be that these discoveries would never be made.
I don't expect everyone to jump on the pro-life bandwagon because of this, but I think it's reasonable to agree that we all have "lines in the sand." Pretty much anybody of reason would diplore the "science" of the Nazi regime. So really, the issue is where to draw the line. This shows that even when we draw the line furthur back, real, people-saving science can be accomplished.
Pity the poor, backwards Koreans, whose barbarian trust in diabolical "science" damns them to hell for eternity. If god wanted that woman to walk, he would never have paralyzed her in the first place. Instead of praying, she's strapped into some infernal machine, feeding on baby's blood. God have mercy on their souls, they should have been grateful to America for freeing them from their Communist threat, and surrenderred to Jesus like us. Then they'd have no healthcare problems at all!

Oh please. I could name dozens of products and ideas invented and developed by the private sector, naming four from government funded programs proves nothing.
Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.
You people miss the point almost as bad as michael moore misses the point. Speaking of which, I bet Moore's next documentary will be "Stems of Hope: A documentary film about Bush's bans on stem cell research, and how advancements in other countries showed he was wrong!"
(For reference, Moore never gets anything right)

I expect to be modded down for this... too bad you never get modded back up on old threads a few weeks later once everyone sees you are right.
Heck - I know of a LOT of adults that don't have " recognizable brain forms, and detectable brain activity"....
Should medical experiments also be performed on condemmed prisoners?
I was wondering how many people would take a statement about a microsopic blob of cells and extend it to pathetically ludicrous lengths to apply it to fully grown, living people. At least 4 so far.
