@mediaray i’v seen treatment of adult stem cells for ms it doesn’t work to well lets just say…. can you say that embryonic stem cell research does not offer a better solution to problems like ms when adult stem cells have shown no help in these area’s. i know adult stem cells have helped but i see no help coming from them in these area’s. human potential is a bs excuse just admit it’s a purely religious argument you are just trying to hide behind science.
@johnnyd101 Really? That’s your scientific-based argument? Okay, quick lesson. A chimpanzee embryo will grow into a chimpanzee. A cow embryo will grow into…can you guess? A COW! Here’s the kicker…a HUMAN embryo will grow and develop into… A) a chimpanzee b) a cow or c) A HUMAN.
ALSO, TRY GOING TO STEMCELLRESEARCHFACTS . COM for real-life ways adult stem cells are helping people NOW.
@mediaray really so your anti abortion and invitro fertilization aswell??
@johnnyd101 One of HUNDREDS of scholarly articles about tumors in ESC. Google is your friend. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC263817/
A three-day-old human embryo becomes nthing else but a human, if it survives Iabortion, etc.)
@mediaray show me evidence of tumors??? a pig was an embryo a chipmanzee was an embryo a cow a dog any mammal your point being?? sorry accusing me of not being intelligent when all you do is fear monger and misrepresent embryonic stem cell research. what’s your real moral argument please tell me?? cause you seem to predicate your argument on 3 day embryo’s always leading to human life when you know that’s not always the case.
@johnnyd101 The Catholic Church created the system of health care and research we know today as hospitals. They earliest mission was that of Christ: “Heal the sick.” Thus, religion is the motivation for science and medicine.
And please, what “lies” are there in this video?
@johnnyd101 Calm down Johnny…please…take a chill pill. It’s okay to learn new things. Everything here is scientifically documented. Rogue tumors are well-documented. No, not “any skin can become a human…” you are being silly and emotional. What do you think a skin cell you scratch off becomes? A REALLY BIG skin cell? Silly. An embryo is human life at its earliest stages–YOU were once an embryo. Settle down there fella. Bring some intelligence and facts to the conversation.
tumors is a load of shite. quit lying to people. and you have just proved that any cell with a nucleus can become a human therefore scratching your skin is genocide according to you. feminists should shut up they have equality… adult stem cells has no cure for ms and your anecdotal evidence will not persuade me.. using somebody else’s life is bs and you know it. oh i’m sorry a catholic priest a church that is guilty of an ever increasing genocide of actual human lives that’s the guy to go 2.
@mediaray you can lie to people all you want but bringing religion into science is a terrible thing
@JesusisPerfect yes murder is a crime, when the person being murdered has a brain and a nervous system and a conciousness and even if the murder was painless the people who love them would feel pain for thier loss. Abortion isnt illegal, at least in this country and neither is stem cell research. I think that flushing the 1000′s of frozen embryos that the IVF industry produces each year instead of learning from them is incredibly stupid. buts thats my opinion isnt it
@Mulcebar wheter or not the “human life” (your words) feels pain and suffering is a moot point since, we would be essentially making the decision to end his/her life. Ask yourself this: If you took someone elses life w/o their consent and for your gain, but they felt no pain or suffering, would it still be a crime? My answer is yes.
Thanks for posting this informative video.
@Phyerbyrd I agree, of course an embryo is the beginning of a human life but until it is capable of thought and has developed the basic systems it cannot experience pain or suffering. I would strongly oppose research that caused senient beings pain, in fact I find it objectionable when I think about even rats being tortured in a lab but not embryos, they have no conciousness. If this was about fetal stem cell research id be dead against it. this not so much.
@mediaray the discovery of stem cells and their ability to differentiate into any tissue in the body is undeniably a pivotal milestone in medical science. My opinion is that closing the door on embryonic stem cell research in favour of adult stem cell research will hinder the development of the science. As someone who’s life is affected by spinal cord injury I think that stem cell research holds the key to treatments for such injuries and that embryonic research is an important area of study.
@Mulcebar Mulce…listen and learn. YOU are the ignorant one…close- minded and just silly with your “arguments.” We have science that works…why waste money on that which doesn’t work? Remember the Tuskegee Experiments? Your thinking about “the dark ages” was also used to justify them…yes, we learned about STD’s, and ruined the lives of southern black men in the process. ESC is OLD NEWS, medically, scientificially, as well as ethically. BUT, you may beat a dead horse if you wish.
what a load of shit. we need to understand how this science works not throw our hands up and say “oh well its too hard lets give up” eventually medical science will understand this and other ethically questionable sciences like genetic engineering, a century down the line we will look back and see this time as if it were the dark ages where ignorance and fear prohibited our understanding.

@redsoilder3 I am no expert, but as far as I know adult stem cells are a lot harder to grow than embryonic stem cells; they are quite rare and can only be found in isolated pockets called stem cell niches found in mature tissue. Also, scientists believe that adult stem cells can only specialise into the cell of the tissue that the stem cell came from, for example adult stem cells taken from your skin can only specialise into skin cells. Embryonic cells grow relatively fast so are easier to grow.

@mediaray Thanks
!
can you live forever through stem cells?
I wish more credible sources were used as educators in this video; RN Jennifer Laul does not work for me. One day, I hope that journalists will be required to apply for licenses if they wish to disseminate technical information about cutting edge research.
@redsoilder3 Hey Red, good question, here is the best I can come up. Certain researchers say that embryonic stem cells are more “pluripotent” or flexible, with an ability to morph into or grow many different kinds of cells–liver, heart, etc. BUT, as the video points out, they cannot stop the problem of these cells growing “rouge” tumors. Many have stopped trying. So, that’s the science answer, more or less. The “human element” answer is that many have PRIDE and can’t admit their mistakes.
why do researchers use embryonic stem cells instead of adult stem cells, if there’re so many ethical issues with embryonic?
are there more advantages?
please help
@Phyerbyrd
“It’s scientific fact that the brain is responsible for personhood”
Please site your “scientific fact” for this statement.
Also the statement:
“Since when was human synonymous with person?” tells me we come from very different viewpoints. This is a statement made repeatedly by slaveowners to justify their trade…and more recently by those who engaged in the Tuskegee Experiments on black men in the South. Very, very scary.
