| South Korean Scientists Claim Paralyzed Woman Walks After Stem Cell Therapy This seems like a legitimate story and not something from a tabloid source. If it's true it's a great thing.. Quote:

| The people who voted for George Bush shouldn't receive the benefits or stem cell research. If you're against stem cell research then you should also reject the benefits of stem cell research! Governor Schwarzanegger and the residents of California deserve a big hand for voting to fund stem cell research in that state. __________________ When people get the opportunity to talk about the real issues, it becomes clear how vacuous the present agenda is. I have never met anyone in Vermont who thinks it's a good idea to give tax breaks to billionaires and cut back on health care and education. Nobody.-U.S. Representative Bernie Sanders | |||

| Milt, you George Bush isn't against umblilcal cord cell research, only embryotic, which has already been proven to do more dammage than good. So beofre you get all high and mighty about how those who voted for him shouldn't get the benefits, you might want to find out more about it, more than some articla that none of us are sure is real, and more importantly, you might want to spend a day with somebady who has a spinal cord injury and voted against embryotic stem cell research. __________________ If the meaning of your marriage can be cheapened by the marriage of two men, how much could it have been worth to begin with? | |||

| Why wouldn't that article be real? Do you have proof that it's not? Also can you provide a link which talks about why embyonic stem cell research has done more harm than good? __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||

| "There have been many controversial debates on embryonic stem cells and also such stem cells are not practical due to their property of possibly causing teratoma (cancer of cells)" he explained.

Do you take any medications? Have you ever looked at the fine print that comes with a prescription? Every medication out there can produce a serious side effect in the right circumstance. Does that mean we should stop taking antibiotics because it will cause stomach problems? I don't think so..stem cell research still is in it's infancy. It has the potential to offer great breakthroughs in many diseases. We'll never know what it can produce unless we try. __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||

| stomach problems and cancer are very different hun. When we are talking about life and death, "possible" is a big word. __________________ If the meaning of your marriage can be cheapened by the marriage of two men, how much could it have been worth to begin with? | |||

You still haven't given any proof of all the damage that embryonic stem call could produce other than quote a scientists's theory about possible side effects. If you don't want to be hopeful about new breakthroughs then that's your deal. I nursed my dad through the end stages of Parkinson's disease. Having seen someone deteriorate because of that disease I think that any research that shows promise should be supported. There are no givens but I'd rather have hope than just give up and accept it as some Divine will. Worse..not even try because there could be serious side effects. The drugs that currently help Parkinson's patients have some serious side effects and believe me..it's not pleasant to see. __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||

| Sounds to good to be true but I hope it is. I think "W" is crazy to be against stem cell research. | |||

| I am very hopeful, there is no hope that my brother will ever walk again. But you have no idea how much hope I have that there will come a way that other families don't have to got through the pain that comes with these things. Trust me, I have seen almost every article and every study on embyonic research and the evidence just isn't there. I'm equally certain that one day there will be a way to cure these things, but I hate to see other people get their hopes up about embryonic stem cell research when it just doesn't seem to be adding up. __________________ If the meaning of your marriage can be cheapened by the marriage of two men, how much could it have been worth to begin with? | |||

Everything I've read goes on the premise that it's a hopeful avenue for research but there are no proven cures yet. For instance research at Harvard has shown that they can take human cells from an embryo and coax them to form retinal cells. That's a potential breakthrough that could help with blindness and other eye diseases. Should we just stop all that now become some think a definitive cure might never be found? You don't know unless you try. __________________ The Committee To Re-elect President Obama: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul | |||

| No all Im saying is that I think there will be better ways to get the same results if we keep looking. __________________ If the meaning of your marriage can be cheapened by the marriage of two men, how much could it have been worth to begin with? | |||
