In the end, it doesn't matter whether the religious right in America is opposed to embryonic stem cell research or not.

Earlier this year, South Korean scientists have already "cloned" a human being, (by that they took a blastocyst and made it seperate so it started making two human beings instead of one).

Unfortunately, I see a similar pattern arising with embryonic stem cell research and IV fertilization.

While the US was all locked up and wrestling with the idiocy we call religion, Europe had already forged ahead and created invitro fertilization, initially, conservatives in the US were all seized up about this because it killed hundreds of little 1/2 cell embryos. So we see Europe develop the technology, and the US the left behind. Now people get IV fertilization everyday. I guarantee you there are plenty of hardcore Christians getting it as well, ignoring the "precious" "fetuses" they end up killing when they're thrown away.

America might whine bitch moan and fight amongst itself, but the world won't wait. If we don't do the research first and set the standards so that the world can safely follow, then you can suck it up when the standards for use of embryonic stem cells are determined by another country who couldn't give two sh*ts about jesus.

And you've got to be joking me if you think people won't start demanding embryonic stem cell treatments when they become a FULLY TESTED AND VIABLE option. Just like IV fertilization.

HALLELEUJAH!

So, there's validity in the cord cells afterall. How odd is it that the advanced work comes from the impoverished nation of South Korea?

Is this a joke?

Dunno, Gravity sounds pretty serious.

C'mon man, what kind of hole have you been living in? S.Korea is FAR from an "impoverished nation" although one could make the case for it's sister up north...

Samsung, Daewoo, Kia, LG Electronics? hello? anyone? :p
