Scientists Turn Skin Into Blood
Breakthru writes "In an important breakthrough, scientists at McMaster University have discovered how to make human blood from adult human skin. The discovery, published in the prestigious science journal Nature today, could mean that in the foreseeable future people needing blood for surgery, cancer treatment or treatment of other blood conditions like anemia will be able to have blood created from a patch of their own skin to provide transfusions. Clinical trials could begin as soon as 2012."
So I'll just pop in and call you all fags. Shit eating fags.
This also in: scientists at McMasterbate University have discovered how to make human semen from adult foreskin.
Dear Hedwards, please see my comment accidentally posted under the vampire thread above.
As for having lots of dead babies lying around "going to waste", that is like saying "Seem's like a shame to let all these dead Jews go to waste. I mean we ARE standing in Auschwitz and all that. If only it weren't for those damn Allies."
You cold hearted piece of sewage.
Sounds pretty stupid to me.
That's because it's a FAILED analogy. A stupid analogy too.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Full disclosure: I'm a medical student and researcher and an opponent of a number of forms of IVF stem cell research
I certainly agree that morality is primarily concerned with research driven creation of embryos.
However, myself and a large number of my collages opposed embryonic research. Ignoring valid arguments and charging opponents with being 'hicks' just undercuts your arguments. On the topic of your arguments, certainly some avenues of research would be further if embryonic research was available, but I'm not convinced that we would be better off. For example, the paths of research that produced this discovery in the article are further along precisely because embryonic research has met with ethical concerns.
Then again.... I'm an idiot.......
...... and idiots rule the world....
Yes, well, even a Jew is more human than an embryo, if just barely. Now a nigger, I'm not so sure. I believe it's ok to kill them for their stem cells. It's for the greater good and all that, because the only good nigger is a...
Unless thats a PhD you're opinion is irrelevant.
If you're not rational enough to be an atheist, you should not be allowed into medical school.
Here's a conundrum for you ass-wipe. I'm an atheist, my degree is biology and I oppose embryonic stem cell research. It's not needed.
Let S1 = "If you're not rational enough to be an atheist, you should not be allowed into medical school."
Let S2 = "I am an atheist."
Let S3 = "I am smart enough to be in medical school."
Prove that S1 and S2 doesn't imply S3.
