I think stem cells are a good thing i agree with shasa because those who cannot walk can if the research for embryonic stem cells is allowed. Those who are always stared at will then be admired when they can walk or move their arms when they couldnt do it 5 years ago. Although I do believe this isnt the best way-killing potential lives-I feel that a couple 100 potential kids-lets face it not all of them are going to make it or have a defect or whatever-that could save a couple thousand people, what is wrong with that?

i believe the stem cell research is a good thing because it gives the people who didnt have a normal to actually live one. Its gives a chance to know what it fells like to walk around places and not to starred or laughed at. I think its a beautiful thing.

I would like to get my husband involved in this kind of study. His problem is stiffness and a slight tremor. He is wheelchair bound. I hope it is not too late.
