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)? |

because we don't have the technology to use ASCs yet.
we don't hvae the technology to use anything but ESCs right now. and no, waiting is not an option. the more you wait the more people die. |

ESC is all about the potential, which they havent figured out how to harness, and now with the cell transformation of ASCs whatever advantage in potential that ESCs had is gone. your right, waiting is not an option, that is why it is being used now, and why i believe more of the Funding should go into ASC's to help the people whom we have the power to help, now. Yes and you are correct in that ASC's will try to revet to what they were and might be less useful in the brain and such areas, however the fact of the matter is that it can still be done. it is an alternative, and since they haven't figured out how to use ESCs to replicate any of those things yet, i believet tht we should put more of the funding into where it is helping ppl now. This has been fun, it's always good to debate worthy oponnents, it gives me a chance to see how much more i can learn on a subject and prepares me to better defend my views angainst others. Since i believe that my point has been made, as have the rest of yours, which i can clearly see, i believe it is time to focus my efforts eslewhere. Thanx, I really had a lot of fun doing this, hope to see the rest of you around on CB ![]() |

ASC's are farther along yes... but we don't have the technology to use them like we have to use ESCs. Our current technology will let use us ESCs in ways ASCs can never be used, like regrowing whole limbs. ASCs are farther along... but they'll read a tecnology road block, and ESCs will pass them. |
