    So now I'm becoming Ahhhnold Schwarzenegger?
    Strangely enough, Aaahhnold is pro-choice.

    You forgot the sentance before that...

      What thats what I meant to say... you forgot the sentence before the one that you posted. It said that embryonic stem cells are more versatile than umbilical ones. Therefore making it so that embryoic stem cell research is still necessary.

      Strangely enough, Aaahhnold is pro-choice.
      How ironic.

        Sure, she can make decisions about her own body. She can not have sex until she is ready to have a kid. She can be careful about it and make the male wear protection. Nothing can prevent a pregnancy 100% of the time, so the couple has to decide if sex is worth the risk.
        And if after that she regrets becoming pregnant, she has every right to get an abortion.

        About rape- that's why there is adoption available.
        About rape- that's also why there is abortion available.

        No; she didn't intentionally kill her child. Here's a question for you- if a woman doesn't like her children, would it be ok with you if she murdered them? What is your stance on partial-birth abortion?
        Firstly, Manslaughter charges are pressed when an unintentional killing has occured.

        Secondly, when a woman murders her children after they are born, it is murder, because the children are no longer a physical part of her body. They are human beings capable of thinking and functioning on their own. And anyway with stem cell research we aren't talking about children, we are talking about embryos.

        Although yeah, partial-birth abortion does push the limit.

          the only part that concerns me, isn't necessarily the killing of embryos, but the farming and then killing of embryos. thats kind of freaky.

            Embryonic stem cells are a mass of cells that are grow in lab conditions. They will never develop into human beings and would not even exist without stem cell research. They should only be considerd as such.
            So which of two possibilities do you choose: a bunch of cells (which would not in any way develop into a human being) or the actual life of a human being?

              If the results came from embryotic stem cells, then maybe. But the actual proven results, tangible evidence, came from the umbilical cord blood. It just seems to me that people are saying the embryotic cells have all this potential, but so far the major achievements have come from non-embryotic stem cells. Can someone give me a comparison of actual documented results and achievements between embryotic stem cell research and umbilical/other types of stem cell research?
              It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.
