Do you know what kind of liberties stem cell research would allow the medical community? It would allow them to designate HUMAN DNA for cures of disease. According to the FDA and FTC the only cure for a disease is a drug. Its a federal law. Therefore HUMAN DNA would be allowed to be labled a Drug by the medical community allowing them to Patent HUMAN DNA. This means they could take stem cells from a person and patent the cells and that person would there by have no rights, what so ever to their own DNA. And for all those people out there with the wool pulled over their eyes. There are cures for diabetes, cancer, and possibly AIDS.....yet the medical community would never allow them to be brought to the public because they cannot patent the cures since they are not DRUGS. Therefore, they would make no money off them because manufacturers could make and produce cures for these diseases at little to nothing cost of production. So before you go and persecute bush for doing the American public a huge favor in my opinion, maybe you should get a clue as to what is happening in this country.
Take this into consideration. You go to the doctors office to get a checkup. They draw your blood for tests. They notice that you are highly resilliant to the flu virus according to your blood. They take some of your blood and use it to create a cure for the common cold. Then they get a patent on your DNA. They then have the right to kill you legally because they own the patent for your DNA. Or sue you for the use of their patented DNA. Sorry if this sounds far fetched and unbelieveable, but with the research and the laws in this country it is all to real and a very likely scenario. Just some food for thought.
Uh, someone doesn't understand how stem cell research works.
The DNA itself does not become the cure, I hope you realize. They aren't going to cure diseases by injecting someone else's DNA into you. It's used to formulate a disease situation and then, concequently, test various cures on it.

Medical researchers believe stem cell research has the potential to change the face of human disease by being used to repair specific tissues or to grow organs.
Yet there is general agreement that, "significant technical hurdles remain that will only be overcome through years of intensive research.

I heard on the radio Bush saying something along the lines of "This would have been the first time this country endorsed the DEE-LIH-BRITT destruction of potential human life".
What a stupid, stupid, stupid man. Seriously, he has no freaking clue what is going on outside his monkey-brained head.

You mean Bush allocated more funds for stem cell research than even Washington, Lincoln and Kennedy?! Even more than Roosevelt and Reagan did?
Amazing man this Bush is compared to all of our Presidents in history who just ignored stem cell research. What grand vision he has.
More than the great clinton administration. whos financial polices have near doomed the US economy for long term growth and prosperity. Also, empowered China to become the next world power.

Been on this planet long? Your "food for thought" has less nutrition than a happy meal. :roll:Originally posted by: ItsAlive
