'Plentiful' Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Found
An anonymous reader writes "CNN reports that scientists at Harvard and Wake Forest have discovered a 'plentiful' non-embryonic source for stem cells, as well brain, liver, and bone cell types as well. The cells, found in amniotic fluid, can be harvested without harm to the donor or the donor's unborn child. While there's no proof that amniotic stem cells are as potent as embryonic stem cells, scientists are hopeful that this will be a huge step forward for the field of stem-cell research."
a banana is partly human, do you have any problem with people eating bananas?
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
any form of the bible as a moral compass, it advocates hate and intolerance.
So all religious books of any kind advocate hate and intolerance? READ the Bible sometime. It does not advocate hate or intolerance. People are evil and make mistakes, people will co-opt religion to push their own agendas forward, but claims that "any form of bible" advocates "hate and intolerance" is obviously ignorant.
To quote you... "i... primative bliefs... smash... fucking... balls."
Yeah, you're the model of a modern sensible individual who understands how to respect others.
No, it's not a belief, it's a fact. An embryo needs to be fertilised before it even has the chance of becoming a child. But even a fertilised embryo is not a child.
But ask the average street person, they'll say it is.Frankly, I call BS. Have you done a poll to determine this? Does the average person also believe that a woman is "killing babies" when she menstruates? I don't think so.
... and then they built the supercollider.
Umm, no. Legal limits on abortion in the USA are pretty much set at "before labor commences".
