NIH Orders Halt To Embryonic Stem Cell Research
sciencehabit writes "Responding to a court order issued a week ago, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on Friday ordered intramural researchers studying human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to shut down their experiments. NIH's action — probably unprecedented in its history — is a response to a preliminary injunction on 23 August from US District Judge Royce Lamberth. The judge ruled that the Obama policy allowing NIH funding to be used to study hESC lines violates a law prohibiting the use of federal funds to destroy embryos."
...that Neanderthals are making a comeback.
Indeed, that is exactly the way to do it. If you object to the research, you should not be allowed to have your life saved or illness cured by the technique.
Much of the objection is due to religion, religious types thinking we shouldn't be messing with stem cells and everything to do with life. But these are the same people who probably don't care about genetically modified crops or cloned cattle.
Yet another person claiming that creationists have contributed nothing of value to science. Yawn.
The entire modern science of genetics is based on principles discovered by an Austrian monk in the 1800s. I’d like to see stem cell research happening without any of those discoveries.
If I should only benefit from the work of creationists, then you shouldn’t benefit from any of it. Is that the way it works?

So it's not murder if a parent kills their one-month old? According to you they aren't a person so it can't be murder.
Homosexuals are perversions, embryos are humans, niggers on death row deserve to die, kill all the sand niggers, save the jews, hunt bambi and his tasty mother, kill all the mexicans. Fucking jesus x xist on a stick. How do they keep who to kill and who to let live straight in those little pointed heads?
