Embryonic Stem Cell Research

[AKA_Monet]

I think the issue is that there are frozen embryos that have been frozen for over 20 years and may never be implanted into a human female uterus because of its freezing age--like freezer burn...

But once thawed, it cannot be rethawed and must be properly disposed. How do they get disposed? Just like all other human bodily fluids I guess--add some bleach and get flushed down the toilet... Or thrown into a biohazard bag and incinerated...

However, with the technology so advanced these days, scientists can take the embryos, dissect the pluripotent cells from them (cell that can be made into any organ in the body), and grow them for some time and study their uses for the potential of therapeutics for dehabilitating diseases--mainly Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Heart, Diabetes, Huntington's and Brain/Spinal Cord injuries--mainly any organ that will NEVER have cells that divide again...

Am I for the constructive use and study of how to use human embryonic stem cells in a FDA, Public Health Service NIH funded Nobel Laureate peer-reviewed fashion? Yes.

Am I for the use of these cells for eugenics. No.
