I am not against stem cell research but I am against EMBRYONIC stem cells being used for this research. I think what we already had was fine. There are no quarantees that these cells even can help certain things that they are banking on already. Destroying an embryo just doesn't seem right. They were created to be implanted and become children, not to be destroyed and ripped apart for experimental purposes. We had enough lines to work from and scientist already were able to create new stem cells from existing adult lines. OBAMA is horrible for this country. Wake up America before it's too damn late! PLEASE.
Obama decision on stem cells cheers scientists

President Barack Obama's decision to lift the contentious Bush-era restraints on stem-cell research came with a larger message for all scientists: Follow the data, not political ideology.
"Our government has forced what I believe is a false choice between sound science and moral values," Obama declared as he signed documents changing U.S. science policy and removing what some researchers have said were shackles on their work.
"It is about ensuring that scientific data is never distorted or concealed to serve a political agenda - and that we make scientific decisions based on facts, not ideology," Obama said.
Researchers said the new president's message was clear: Science, which once propelled men to the moon, again matters in American life.

bush administration was very engaged in stemcell research programs, just not embryonic stemcell research....why didnt obama just continue what was already begun, rather than make out like it was something new he was starting? soon, he will also be taking credit for the aids work that bush began also, and everything else that was begun, prior to his sitting in the office
Yes, my point is, They can already make new stem cells from adult stem cells and don't need to destroy embryos to further the research. I was listening to a Stem cell scientist on Savage nation yesterday and she is very much against the Embryonic stem cell research herself. She said cells that haven't yet taken any form have shown to just turn into Cancer Cells so it's preferable to her to just use the adult cells, which can be created right now. No need to kill embryos, which were created to become human beings and complete families.
