    @Sandman159 Not all stem cells are from embryos. There are stem cells in YOUR body right now that can be extracted without killing anyone. They just have different potentials. It’s not all bad (: Stem cell is a very broad term that’s being put up as an icon for just stuff from embryos. It’s not entirely accurate at all.

    They’re sacrificing a life to save a life.

    Whenever you scrape your knee or bump your elbow onto something, you are “chopping up babies” – after all, every single cell you destroyed could (in principle) be cloned to a complete human being.

    Truly amazing and inspired individuals… <3

    @Spectre2012 …He would not do this work if his *purse* was not getting bigger. This is about money. Not saving life.

  7. associate39 says:

    Wow chopping up babies sure did buy that guy a nice house. The same actions bought Hitler, Kim Jung ill, Stalin, Idi Amin.

    Cannibalizing our own is pretty revolutionary. Everyone wants to see her walk again. Adult stem cells have shown the most progress so far.

    The main difference between the Lorenzos Oil approach is these people are educated persons (unlike bush and his religious nuts or those who developed the oil), and are conducting a scientific approach in devising the a proper method of developing a means of fixing the spinal cord and possibly the brain cells using stem cell research.

    I for one would like this to become reality yesterday for my own interests

  14. Jkelquedi says:

    just think how the daughter could use this to help animals in a vet.

  15. jrcenina85 says:

    this reminds me of “Lorenzo’s Oil.”

    maybe she’s just teasing her mom in jest?

    Also Read The Gospel again because when Jesus healed people and performed miracles He prayed over them and touched them! Abortion is wrong period! That should be evident! Thou shalt not kill period! I do not have a problem with Adult stem cell research but killing babies Give Me a break.

    Jesus said, ” Daughters of Jerusalem, Don,t weep instead for yourselves and for your children, for indeed, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never nursed.’ Luke CH 23 VS 28-29

  19. StayStupid4Christ says:

    by playing god do you mean ignoring the suffering of praying christians most of the time?

    or do you mean letting the children of the most devout get molested by the preist trusted to guide them morally in our own house?

    im just not sure what you mean by playing god because I think you mean doing nothing at all or pretending i dont exist.

    ” “man playing god” is the only reason you will live (or have lived past age 30)it is the reason you dont die from the flu or pnemonia these days.

  20. StayStupid4Christ says:

    yes we should not be using science to sure anyone when prayer works 100% of the time. kneeling down and murmuring to an invisible magical beard old man in the sky has gotten us to live 80+ years and cured most diseases.

  21. HardcoreTriplex says:

    his daughter is very beautiful.

  22. Spectre2012 says:

    some of you wouldnt exist if medicine didnt make the advances it did from past work… whole lineages would be wiped out if it werent for cures given to us by hard work and research as this physician pursues.

  23. indeficit2 says:

    you should be ashamed of yourself.

  24. koedfast says:

    omg new age religion agreed

  25. SoldierofChrist12345 says:

    I think man should quit trying to play GOD!
