First off let me say; Stem cells are in no way limited to just the most mainstream kind, human embrionic stemcells (the kind that typically come from after-birth leftover). Which are predominetly the most hated... And where the stem cell taboo originated from..
There are many different kinds of Stem Cells. Kinds that even we produce on our own, in our own bodies. For instance: Adult Stem Cells. These are cells that have the ability to basiclly produce new cells, mature into a variety of different cell types and mobilize in responce to an injury. They can be found most commonly in, Bone marrow, Adipose tissue (fat) and Blood...
The list for the amount of Stem cells that could be potentially beneficial grows every year. I could list atleast 5 more types of stem cells which show promise. To be honest I probably couldn't even pronounce them correctly outloud... And theres no sense in wasting my limited space on here with big words that people will skip over anyway. A simple wikipedia search will give you all you need for the curious few.
SO people of Earth, isn't it time we stop all this bickering over whats morally right or wrong for our fellow brothers and sisters; and start to focus our attention to all the good that could potentially come from this? And by GOOD, i'm refering to this list of potentially curable diseases/conditions, which inclue but not limited to....
Diabetes - Rheumatoid athritis - Parkinsons disease - Alzheimers disease - Osteoarthritis - Stroke/Traumatic brain injury repair -Learning defects - SPINAL CORD INJURY REPAIR - Heart infarction - Anti- cancer - Baldness - Replacing misssing teeth - Repair hearing, Repair vision - Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Crohns disease - Wound healing.
I'd be willing to bet a shiny penny you yourself has had or knew an individual who had one of these unfortunate disease's/conditions. And maybe even know of the struggle that these people live with everyday.
would you click for this cause?
