Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the why-turn-away-volunteers dept.

hzs202 writes "BBC News is reporting that Professor Ian Wilmut is pushing for stem cell treatment to be offered to people with terminal illnesses. Professor Wilmut told journalists that the treatment could save lives or at least speed up the pace of research, however it is yet to be fully tested." From the article: "If we wait until things are totally tested and analyzed in animals, it will deny some people treatment"

  1. And feed them with our babies ... by SengirV · · Score: 1, Troll
    ... The body bags and little rags of children torn in
    two,

    And the jellied brains of those who remain to put

    the finger right on you,

    As the Madmen play on words and make us all

    dance to their song, ...



    The song was about war mongering, but the babies being killed and euphemisms aren't used to build better weapons, but to trivialize the slaughter of millions and the by-product is used to make others live longer.

    The science was shown to be forged, but keep on with the abortions to fuel the lust for eternal life.

    No thanks, I'll not inject myself with dead babies.

    A bit harsh, but the truth hurts.

    Note the use of the term "AIDS treatmenats" and not "AIDS cure." There's no money in a cure, right? Got to keep 'em coming back for the fix.
