QUOTE Federal regulators have cleared the way for the first human trials of human embryonic stem-cell research, authorizing researchers to test whether the cells are safe to use in spinal injury patients, the company behind the trials announced Friday. The tests could begin by summer, said Dr. Thomas Okarma, president and CEO of the Geron Corporation. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the trials, which will use human stem cells authorized for research by then-President George W. Bush in 2001. The patients will be those with the most severe spinal cord injuries, called complete spinal cord injuries. "A complete spinal cord injury has no hope of recovery below the injury," Okarma told CNN. "This is significant because it's the first clinical trial of a human embryonic-based product." The primary purpose of the trial will be to see whether injecting these cells into patients is safe, but Okarma said researchers will also look for any signs of recovery. Scientists will monitor the patients for a year after the injections to see if they are regaining any function below the injured point.  |

the one thing i can tie into this is the idea of religion.
i'm not very religious at all but either way the church believes that to go through with all that is immoral and anyone who claims to be christian that has some kind of position in society they'll side wit the church because how does that look on you if your a public figure and go against ur religion that was one of the issues i dealt with and what i have to say bout that is in the consitution is mentions spearation of church and state so that means the church should have no impression on our choices on what we propose to do with science because one we are trying understand thing and studdy and learn more about the human body and the different disorders and i think that if stem cell research will help then by all means go for it and i mean it'll open up soo many jobs and we know we need it badly |
