Obviously a techno-progressive such as myself would disagree with a number of statements made by luv2 such as, "no positive results have been attained with ESCR"
Ok, then list the positive things that has arisen out of ESC. List how many people have been helped. Instead of leaving us in the blue
while still trying to persuade us, why not fill us in.
Here is a challenge for the techno-progro: name one good thing that all the millions of dollars spent thus far on ESC has done that is positive for humanity
and worthy of the money spent... I bet you cannot do it. You are arguing a dead-end path.
All you have is the "blind" agreeance with researchers who are going to be rich in working on a dead-end project (ESCR) for years to come. It is kind of like trying to find a cure for diseases when all that needs to be researched is finding the prevention from the diseases in the first place. That would be better for humanity, yet you agree with the same industry who has robbed people for many years.
My basic claim is that eliminating restrictions on scientific research is usually a good thing, and that eliminating restrictions on ESCR is definitely a good thing. Unencumbered researchers are more creative researchers.
I'm still waiting for a progress report on ESCR from you techno. Creative researches who are getting paid much money are ones that really want to get things accomplished at an express rate to huh? lol This will be another thing like the research on curing AIDS.
How much money have we put into that? All the modern technology, research & know-how with the brightest minds on the job making millions upon millions for over 2 decades now still can't find the cure to AIDS.
I think the chances of us curing AIDS is much more likely than us using embryonic stem cells viably.
Maybe 20 years from now, we can come back to this debate, and still not one single benefit of ESC will be found, but techno will be still saying, "give it more time. I'm sure we will get there soon." This will be while ASC will be in full swing.
Techno, what you along with the "few" other scientists are proposing is about as hysterical as the US Gov't lifting a fictitious ban from scientists finding a way to make pigs fly...
