Joe asked: …. paid for by the
insurance company and HIS SISTER testified in front on Congress that the man lived an extra 3 1/2 years?
The stemcell-related procedure was done by one of the best doctors in the world. The man did not die because of “waiting.”
Why did 0bama lie to his supporters and America?
Also, 0bama says Alabama’s Blue Cross has 90% market share. Actually, it’s 75% (still big) BUT they have one of the highest customer satisfactions in the country AND they only made $0.60 on each $100 in premiums over the past decades. That is NOT outrageous.
They have some of the lowest administrative costs of any Blue Cross in America.
They have a large market share because they are EFFICIENT… just like when Bank of America and Citibank have large parts of the credit card market—- once you build the structure, processing more claims at that firm is more efficient than building another big company with the same computers.
Saint asked: Does any think that medical research is less progressive than it should be?
How do you feel about using medical results for modern purposes that were obtained through unethical means? (As a perfect example, many people refuse to use Nazi medical findings on hypothermia because of the unethical way in which the results were obtained)
Do you think people of age should have the right to voluntarily recruit themselves for extreme human testing/experimentation in order to progress medical research’s findings?
Do you think restrictions on stemcell research should be loosened?
[THE] Indian asked:
so far i got polls, deffnitation of stemcell research, politics, steps how its worked out, the 3 sources it comes from, and the public view. i need at least 3-5 more things. i has to be about 750 words. and if u can. can u give me the websites where the info is found? thx!
Eric S asked: This is the biggest paradox I know of.
Not everybody is religious, but the message of God in almost every religion is to love your neighbor, do good onto others, appreciate and commit to the creator and admire all creations of the creator.
This is precisely what Liberal environmentalists try to do, in representing clean air, clean water, increased sustainability of earth so we can sustain more opportunities for souls to dwell in the house of lord, if you want to see it that way.
Also peace-loving activists want to protect the flesh and bones of every living soul so he/she can learn to love and become one with the creator, who so loved this world.
A woman’s right to choose is really just a psychological freedom enhancer that is not supporting abortion, but making it so a woman can have the option if she’s ill.
Gay rights is just something God will judge, not man.
Stemcell research if necessary to save thousands of lives, same concept as World War II against Japan.
Christians are peace-loving people, so why can’t they appreciate that Liberals are trying to beautify the earth in their own way, and that is acknowledgement of God’s creation.
Therefore some Liberals are more Godly than you’d like to believe.
edit: Abe Frohman: Environmentalists and Liberals value the sanctity of life. They oppose capital punishment, and they don’t SUPPORT abortion. They feel the opposition to abortion be a family matter, not a politician’s ordeal.
FAIR COMPROMISE: We need an environmental organization that is supportive of religious principles and assesses economic risks.

The new immune system kills cancer cells .
The best hope I see.
Wake Forest University is in clinical trail
of injections of white blood cells to cure cancer.
It was 100% cancer cure in rats.
Call them.
Call MD Anderson about vaccine for pancreatic cancer.
Briseis of Troy asked: I have read many
articles on the Adult Stem cell
research therapy. And regarded by many scientists
to be potentially far superior to that of embryonic.
1. Adult stem cells do not cause
immunologic reactions because
they come from the patients own body
Serious problems have have been documented
in embryonic stem cells because of this factor.
2. Adult stem cells do not become tumors,
in many cases embryonic stem cells have
become tumors
3. Adult stem cells can differentiate
just as much as embryonic stem cells
4. Adult stem cells can be taken from
a living donor , or the persons own
body
5. Adult stem cell transplantation has
been reported successful by many
doctors and scientists and for
many disease conditions
6. They are developing therapies to
cause adults to increase their own
production.
here are a few websites by doctors
and scientific journals on Adult Stem Cell
Therapy.

Noel asked: I was wondering if I can get paid to have an abortion and how much money would I actually receive to actually make it worth my time?
I heard that our government (United States) was going to legalize stemcell research again now that Bush is leaving (Thank, God!), and supposedly they need abortions to get more cells.
Does anyone know how long it is going to take to get this program to get started again? Also, how much money do you think one can make doing this? I live nearby a local university, so I guess they would be the place to go to get paid, right?
What sort of process do you have to go through to get accepted into this sort of program?
And I’m not just doing it for money – I’m also doing it for altruistic reasons. There are many people out there with all sorts of incurable ailments, and maybe my donation can help them.
But I also would love to get a job, but, unfortunately, I am living in Bush’s economy still.
Look, all of you who are saying such a program does not exist, are right – for the time being. However, once stem cell legislation passes, they will be harvesting them from somewhere – and where would that be? It will come from aborted fetuses.
And yes, I am well aware you can sell eggs and that it is quite lucrative – however, this program will definitely pay more. And if I am going to go under an invasive procedure, I will pick the one I can capitalize most on. Wouldn’t you?
Finally, I admit, there are jobs to be had. However, due to Bush’s economy and the glass ceiling, it has become quite hard for an intelligent, independent woman to find a decent paying job. All I am trying to do is make my ends meet for my current lifestyle, and I fail to see how this is somehow wrong and immoral.

stay away from topics such as abortion, stemcell, the war, steroids, church/state… etc.. I am looking for more of a newer controversy that would also have enough sources to write an essay with, thanks!

irene k asked:
I see a lot of these so called concervatives running their mouths about stemcell research, and how we’re “messing with nature”. A lot of these concervative people are popping pills their doctor prescribed for them without knowing hardly anything about the drugs, and their long term affect, and possible harm to their DNA, mutation etc. They also seem to have a lot to say about stem cell research , without ever having studied up on the subject. Talk about going blind, with blind faith. A lot of gene therapy is designed to repair damage caused by chemicals, and harmful pharmaceutical drugs. These gene therapies are attemps to cure condition, and repair damage done, not just treat symptoms, that in turn also create more disorders.
synopsis asked: america’s mortgaged executive continues pay its dues to southern fundamentalists by prohibiting stemcell research.
meanwhile other governments are free to re-engineer the human genome as they see fit.
among the collateral likely benefits of a stemcell research project will be the capacity to build a ‘reaper’ virus: a virus which will fix on a specific genome marker and infect (and kill) only people carrying this dna segment. a reaper virus targeted at dna more common among americans (or among white americans, or even among americans of germanic origin) could decimate america’s population, while leaving the country which released it untouched.
for the first time in recent history the rest of the world has access to a devastating weapon technology which the usa has decided to ignore.
or has it? can anyone think of a virus of recent origin which targets one social group at the expense of others?
Joe F asked:
Hello, is it true that the limbus of the eye (see: http://www.lvpei.org/stemcell_dia.jpg or please see: http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/_/viewer.aspx?path=dorland&name=limbus_corneae.jpg as an example) is usually a lighter color than the iris’s color? Could it be darker? Is it possible for the color to be blue (exceptions being a corneal arcus) for darker colored eyes? Example: a person who doesn’t have high cholesterol deposits who has brown eyes to have a blue limbus? Is the limbus’s color usually the eye’s color? Finally, IF it is possible genetically for the limbus’s color to be completely different from the iris (say blue), what would be the frequency of this (particularly in the US)? How unlikely is it for eyes to have a blue limbus and would age matter (of course older people might have a corneal arcus more)? What would be the frequency of this for a total average segmented population? Any facts or scientific data is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
