Stem Cell Research

Post #1

Should stem cells be allowed for medical reasons? If yes, should they allow all types or should they limit the uses?

Teaching physics isn't really the job of the government, either.
I say that teachers should teach appropriate sexual practices, because it's blatantly obvious that parents aren't doing a good job.

This is what have been written of old- they have become instruments of cruelty in the hands of the mighty.
What shall be their later state - if not darkness and a weeping and a gnashing of teeths

Wow, you sure seem to know the future.

Would you care to cite a relevant source?(Relevant meaning non-scriptural)

I think it is actualy. Why? Because most parents dont have a knowledge of primary schooling and secondary school G.E. but all parents have knowledge on procreation (hence the children.) Thats why it becomes there responsibility.

The same proccess that gave us this knowledge? Is it possible that from our knowledge of medicine and preventing natural selection because of it that we are causing overpopulation on earth? Couldn't this add even more on our already stressed planet?
Not if we also teach this little thing known as 'RESPONSIBLITIY and BIRTH CONTROL.

The very things that the people who are against stem cell research and abortion are against.
I'd have to say that responsibility is something society will no longer have in the future.

There's a substantial difference between knowing where to put it, and knowing how to be sexually responsible.
Your parents probably won't teach you how to use a condom, what can be done to prevent and treat STIs, etc.

I think the general publics' knowledge of sex is about as good as their knowledge of physics. If you would like to see and example, walk by a club at 2a.m. on a Saturday.

I live in Utah I cant walk by a club. There is no club to walk by. I just think that society is losing its sense of responsibility.

Actually , there are clubs in Utah, you just got to know where to look. It just isn't at blatant as many other places...
“What do you think science is? There is nothing magical about science. It is simply a systematic way for carefully and thoroughly observing nature and using consistent logic to evaluate results. So which part of that exactly do you disagree with? Do you disagree with being thorough? Using careful observation? Being systematic? Or using consistent logic?�

Society isn't losing responsibility, it's just becoming more secular.
