Embryonic cells represent life because gathering and testing embryonic stem cell research is not okay. Embryos start out by developing and forming into a human, so all the life on Earth has a purpose and should not be taken away. There are other ways to save lives of people instead of using stem cells. The government should provide not a lot of funding for the embryonic stem cell research because we want to stay the same not different in any way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-7368461316176148222011-11-08T15:16:49.197-07:002011-11-08T15:16:49.197-07:00I think that embryonic stem cells can be useful in...I think that embryonic stem cells can be useful in this case, if it can help repair our vital organs or maybe our brain it is important that we look into it and have funds for experiments.

I personally do not feel that embryonic cells represent a human life because there can be a mis carriage which would be the same as using the embryo for stem cells because the life has not lived out side of the human body there for it is not a life.

They have not developed enough to represent a human life form. I do believe that there comes more benefits to stem cell research than to just throw it under the bus. Stem cells can help save lives and cure cronic or terminal diseases. <br /><br />The government should provide funding but there definitely have to be laws.

Because they are just cells, they cannot feel and think nor do they posses any human-like feature. Stem cells are definitely okay, as long as they serve a good purpose to the human body.<br /><br />The government plays a big role in research. Yes they should pitch in some for stem call research because they government cannot just give up on the subject and leave they scientists nothing to do. There should not be any laws regulating stem cell research because a child is not being born in the process and not an animal or human is in danger of injury.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-18810198484905391932011-11-03T22:27:21.543-07:002011-11-03T22:27:21.543-07:001.

I believe that embryonic stem cells do represent human life because an embryo is a group of stem cells that begin with a newly fertilized egg that then divides. If we let the embryo develop, it will become a baby. When embryonic stem cells are used, they are gone which means that a baby can't be produced. I also believe that stem cells shouldn't be used. When scientists modify stem cells, they are changing them so they are not made by nature. I don't think we should mess with nature because this can lead to bigger, unknown problems in the future.<br />2. I don't think that the government should provide funding for embryonic stem cell research. When people experiment with embryonic stem cells, a baby can't be born. I think that since an embryo will turn into a child, we should leave it be. However I don't believe that there should be laws regulating stem cell research. When laws are made to prohibit an action, people will want to find a way to make it happen and find out more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-58080095982341803592011-11-03T22:04:58.800-07:002011-11-03T22:04:58.800-07:001.

You can make the embryonic cell whatever you want it to be whether it is fully human or half-man half- pig. I am not ok with the use of stem cells no matter what condition. It goes against what human life is all about, it’s not about people being perfect or living the rich life, it’s the experiences you get while living.<br />2. The government should not provide funding for embryonic stem cell research; some people who are against it have to pay for it. I think that it is wrong that the government is basically speaking for the whole nation when they decide what they want to fund whether it makes 1 person mad or 5,000 people mad. There should be laws so that people who want to fund it can and the people who don’t won’t have to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-54797027828946616852011-11-03T21:32:17.621-07:002011-11-03T21:32:17.621-07:001.)

I don’t believe they are considered alive at that point so, I thing it is ok to use the stem cells produced by it. However, as time goes on, the embryonic cells begin to form into life. The cell is almost considered a human. At that point, I do not think it is ok to use the stem cells. To me, that is like killing the embryo. <br />2.) I do think the government should provide some money for this kind of research. I think it is another medical advance that could be greatly beneficial to the human race in the future. As for laws, I think they are needed, but only to a certain extent. Laws should just be in place to keep the research inline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-70307935880501385222011-11-03T21:22:40.402-07:002011-11-03T21:22:40.402-07:00Although stem cell research is a very contreversia...Although stem cell research is a very contreversial and debatable topic, I have an unshakeable opinion on this topic. I believe that it DOES represent human life. I believe that the moment an embryo is formed it is a human life form. I think that it is totally immoral to take the stem cells from an embryo. One reason I feel so strongly is because I believe that from the moment of conception may it be in a petree dish or a womb that it has a soul and is a child of God developed or undeveloped. Another thing is that stem cells from adults have proven to be much more successful than those of undeveloped babies.<br />NO!!! I believe that our govornment should not fund embryonic stem cell research but rather fund adult stem cell research. Scientific studies have proven that adult stem cells are more successful! Why then would the government not get some sense and fund the more successful research? It makes no sense. We can kill people and not get much good research. Or take easy samples from adults and have more successful research!TomM2014https://www.blogger.com/profile/02623031085449560239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-52238998754954425012011-11-03T21:10:10.664-07:002011-11-03T21:10:10.664-07:00I do not believe these cells represent human life ...I do not believe these cells represent human life because they are cells deprived of the womb of a female and the exchange from a male.

At this stage, the embryo can’t feel, can’t use its brain and overall doesn’t really care whether it is killed or not. I feel that this embryonic group of cells doesn’t represent life, however, I can see how the other side of the argument would think so. They may say that this human-to-be has potential to do anything, maybe it will cure cancer or build the world’s first time machine, but using these cells might be the cure for cancer and the human that they save also has potential. This is why I think all kinds of stem cells can, and even should be used for scientific/healing purposes. I also think that the government should fund these types of research, if these cells could be the eventually cure for many life threatening disorders, they are defiantly worth the funding. While this stem cell research is necessary, there also need to be regulations because it involves removing essential body parts from a donor/embreyo. Some of these laws should include not allowing scientists to take stem cells from someone who doesn’t approve of taking these stem cells (or the parent of this donor). Overall, I think stem cell research is necessary, but does need a few regulations before it can be fully studied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-21088103045648650262011-11-03T20:18:45.961-07:002011-11-03T20:18:45.961-07:00I think that embryonic stem cells could be useful,...I think that embryonic stem cells could be useful, if they can repair our vital organs or even our brain it is crucial that we look into it and provide funds for experimentation.

I think embryonic cells do not represent life because multiple cells in our body die daily, and why can’t some of those cells simply be used to save an already living human life? Since Stem cells are cells with no determined use, and do not serve a purpose yet to any function of the body, I find nothing wrong with giving them a purpose and re-growing them for something that is much needed in a living person. Still the use of Stem cells is a barley-tested science in its early stages, and only hold potential to cure diseases such as cancer, and kidney failure. <br /><br />2. However I do not think the government should fund stem cell research because right now the government has more important issues to deal with than fund an unproven, possibly impossible science. Not only that, this is something the government should not be involved in, that and the thought of having the government being apart of a possibly far superior race is frightening, just saying. So in conclusion I do not think the government should fund something as controversial as this.LouisH2014https://www.blogger.com/profile/05509766682392097381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-84081749248194267182011-11-03T18:58:44.914-07:002011-11-03T18:58:44.914-07:00Yes the embryonic stem cells are what represents t...Yes the embryonic stem cells are what represents the human life.

The embryonic stem cell is often derived from an embryo no later than 7 days post fertilization. And due to the fact they are basically “left-overs” from transplants in some cases, before they are created they can be considered a clump of cells. They then will destroy the regular human embryo, so how can they be considered human when all they’ve done is destroyed the only human part left of the process? In my opinion, I think that these are not human whatsoever.<br /><br />I also do believe that there should be funding for this, yet there should also be boundaries. However, doctors and scientists are excited about these because they can help with prevention and treatments of many diseases, I think that the research should be limited to helping only those diseases that are in need of being helped, not to address something that isn’t even an issue yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17995216.post-61380511461520269712011-11-03T18:50:47.771-07:002011-11-03T18:50:47.771-07:00I do not belive that embryonic stem cells are a hu...I do not belive that embryonic stem cells are a human life. I believe that until an embryo is capable of surviving on its own, then it is not a life. I believe that it is ok to use stem cells. I believe that we should try to first use adult stem cells and move onto embryonic stem cells if the first option fails. This is because embryonic stem cells can have the potential to be life, but if they are grown for the purpose of saving a living person, then I believe it is ok. I also believe that the government should provide funding for research because it may bring us one step closer to finding a cure for diseases such as cancer.
