Adult stemcell research should be funded. There are no moral controversies in this field.

"Ropespierre?" Is that supposed to be a joke?

Yes, but I don't believe that has anything to do with stem cell research

There's nothing to discuss. Stem cell research should be funded. End of story. Those who are stupid enough to take an opposing opinion should be...well...sent to the guillotine. Or hanged, as the case may be.

I don't know about the scientific merits of stem cell research, but funding should be based on that.

as long as they're going to throw away harvested embryos, they may as well use them for a purpose. stem cells, fertilizer, or stir fry.

just guessing, probably near-term abortions are not usable for stem cells. so don't see why the majority of people would have a problem with it.

don't the majority of people support abortions that are not near-term or 3rd-trimester?
