Two women losing their sight to progressive forms of blindness may have regained some vision while participating in an experiment testing a treatment made from human embryonic stem cells, researchers reported today.

The report marks the first time that scientists have produced direct evidence that human embryonic stem cells may have helped a patient. The cells had only previously been tested in the laboratory or in animals.

How does it benefit the human race to help people get “better”, when we are killing the unborn to do it?

I am pretty sure this is covered in Matthew 18:9, "And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell."

and what happens when they get tumors in their eyes?

It would be better to use ADULT STEM CELLS!

We have not learned from the past,…and we are now repeating the same mistakes!
 
Same question I had - why wasn’t this experiment done with adult stem cells? If it hasn’t been, it would be a good program for someone to show that adult cells can help with macular degeneration as well. Then there is again no reason to use embryonic stem cells.

Adults represent a significant investment on the part of the human race, the unborn do not. The unborn are necessary for the propagation of the species, but there is no shortage of unborn, if there was a shortage, we would not sacrifice them.

Is this an attempt at sarcasm? If so, it is not funny especially considering the anniversary of the tragic decision. If it is not and actually reflects your thoughts, may God have mercy on your soul.
 
If the use of discarded stem cells bothers cathoics, I think they should try to find a way to make sure they can discard the remains in a way that makes them feel better.

Oh,
I guess by the phrase “discarded stem cells” you are talking about murdered children. Yes, I guess we Catholics are bothered by babies being killed and then used for experiments, or babies being created for the purpose of experimentation.
 
A local cancer center has been using stem cells from cord blood in auto transplants, with very promising results. The cord blood is extracted from the umbilical cord after a baby is delivered, and banked. More research is needed in both cord blood and adult stem cell transplants, as neither of these is morally objectionable.

After BILLIONS of dollars wasted on worthless research the most they can say is that the treatment “may” have helped. ESCR has been a dead end since the theory first came to light - private funded ended years ago. Only the government has continued funding research in an attempt to make a Soylent Green product out of aborted babies.
 
MAY have helped until they start developuing TUMORS in their eyes because the cells were meant to grow into the liver of the unborn child or the pancreas or something else. How will they explain that if THAT happens? Of course if it does, it WON"T make the news because it would be NEGATIVE.

Neither, it is a tenable answer to the question that was asked.

Actually, it is the positive stories that get censored here. I received a warning the last time I posted a story about positive results from embryonic stem cells, I’m somewhat surprised this thread hasn’t also been removed.

Given what you posted here it would appear that was your goal.

Where was the positive story? It sure isnt this one.
