Do yourselves a favor and VOTE Bush Out.

Bush is holding back on science and technology all because of his OWN religious beliefs.

Pathetic....


This guy could have been walking and a big chance of living today if we had the right leader...

Topic Summary: Even SuperMan couldn't wait another 4 years...

As much as I agree on the holding back on Science, the post is uncalled for...

Thanks for the cookie Mate!


Yummm! Why is it uncalled for? It's news and politics!

What more do you want?

I guess death shouldn't be turned into politics but when it effects ones life then maybe it should?

I think if you didn't mention Reeve particularly and started a thread that stated..

"It's time to end the fear of stem cell research."
"Sick people cannot wait four more years for meaningful research."

I you did that, I don't think anyone would've had a problem with it.

Using Reeve was an exploitation of his death.

Someone dies? -- blame Bush! Repost? -- blame Bush! Do you really think Reeves would be walking around if Gore was elected?

I'm sure you supported the Tuskegee syphyllis experiments as well, but most of us here actually have some ethics and can see the moral complexities in a decision such as this, something you seem blissfully and proudly ignorant of.

Moral complexities or pandering to the religious right?

You are a fvcking moron. ANY advances stem cell research leads us to wont be for another ~15-20 years, and stuff like fixing the paralyzed or people with parkinsons is even farther out. Thats with or without federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.

Yeah... Please LOCK!!! I just can't stand it!!! :) hahaha What a bunch of dorks. Go listen to see what Chris was fighting for ever since he got his first wheelchair.

This will come up again and again. So get use to this type of post. Damn it may even be one of the reasons why Bush won't win.

Talk about Flip Flopping. Bush, pushes to be the hero to save all the aborted babies. Yet he is killing more from not allowing science to do it's job (basically ignoring it). Sigh....

You can't have it both ways people.

Eject Bush!

Well, if Christoper Reeve being alive meant that he would go around calling for embryos to be destroyed for his own benefit, then I'm happy he's gone.

Couldn't have expected much better coming from you.... I take it you are not up on this? Go do some more research before posting... Look at some the advances they are doing in Germany. It's NOT just federal funding fool...

Hmmm, do me a favor... All of you. Next time you have a heart attack etc.... You know something major wrong with you besides being something mental (can't really cure that)... Just tell your doctor ... "I'm sorry I didn't support Stem Cell Technology. So, I guess I'll have to die slow and painful."

Yeah, OK...Sure Fine! I know you will be all for to reap the benefits even tho you didn't support it...


Take a look at this link.

Link


Ian Rosenberg, a UK heart attack patient who had the pioneering treatment in Germany, was so impressed at how it changed his life that he set up a charity to fund stem cell research in the UK.

Damn, how many patients that you know of go and set up a charity after they get treatment?
 

Reeves got crippled during the Clinton years, so wouldn't be Clinton's fault, troll?

Hmm....

Adult stem cells have proven to be more help in this type of nerve research.

What an exploitive post.

You just killed your whole arguement. The link you posted is a case involving ADULT STEM CELLS, which is funded by the US Govt. Thats right, almost all of the advances to date are FROM ADULT STEMCELLS. Its quite well know adult stem cells from bone marrow have been able to turn into other cells, heart, liver, everything but spinal cord and brain cells.

And I am right when I said things like fixing the para/quadraplegics and other spinal/neruological things will take 15-20+ years. Plus right now there is a rather large amount of doubt on if stem cells can fix alzhemiers.

the three women i've known that had abortions are rightwingnuts, and they now despise stem cell research. hypocrites one and all. i hope they die of parkinsans, or some other disease that stem cell research can help. but even that won't matter because it was god's will. gimmee a break....

No sh!t dufus. This is just the tip of the iceburg. I didn't kill anything ... Point is we need to have more research DONE.... Pull your head out of your A$$ and WAKEUP!
