    Default A little work can save a lot of lives

    No need to murder babies, and the body is less likely to reject them.
    As conservative scientists had predicted a decade ago, adult stem cells can be reversed into ones identical or nearly so to embryonic stem cells.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    I don't think it was just conservative scientists that had predicted the use of adult stem cells.

    Nonetheless, liberals insisted on continuing mass-murder instead of waiting a few years till the same therapy could be done without killing anyone.

    I understand the sentiment, but I think the idea was that the embrionic stem cells had zero chance of developing further anyway, so it was beneficial to have them make a contribution towards curing debilitating diseases. Also, while it was predicted, there was no guarentee it could work. The medical industry wasn't going to stand still and wait for the outcome.

    Either way, this is all-around good news. Those guys definitely deserve their Nobel prize.

    that would just mean that potentially life saving research would be a "few years" delayed.
    and normally people that need it have plenty of time to spare...as we all know.

    They are spares from IVF, so absolutly nothing would and will change on that point. It's still good research.

    Why do you get spares from IVF? That's because they fertilize a lot of eggs to find a few promising ones. Doing it one and one would be wasteful in time and reosurces and would give a lot more miscarriages from IVF, with the end result that fewer children will be born.
    Less killling of embryos= less born children. That's a fact and a nice conundrum for you.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?
