do you support stem-cell researching? why or why not?
should federal funding be given to these researchers? do you support embryonic or adult stem cells (or both)? |

but b/c it goes inactive, there is a time where it is for all intensive purposes living, but when it goes in active it is in a sense dead.... do you see my point here? the life is not given to the fertilized egg or fetus by the womb, it is living, but unless the womb is there to nurture and protect it, it will nt reach the next stage of development and become inactive. for tht time of activity outside the womb, it is living, nd not given the chance to develop.... It isnt living by the time it get to the scientists and researchers, but for a time it is living.... anyway, tht is only a side point, the major pont is that ASC research allows for all the potentail from ESC, it is so much more advanced, and it dosen't have any affiliations with thing tht can be considered against ones religon basically. ASC is the win win situation, but b/c of all the ESC hype it isn't getting the media coverage it should.....
