...you know, with the right environment it doesn't sound THAT bad...

Anyway, to be serious... I think stem cell research is awesome and if you're to discard a baby you should have the right to give it to science. If you wanna prevent futuristic "fetus farms", you should just forbid them from buying fetuses from the women - they have to be donated.

]]> <![CDATA[A Perfect Stem Cell Harvest]]> COLLINXVII: The opposition's opposition to it is they believe that if you use the stem cells from a fetus, then it will result in more people getting abortions simply to feed the supply. They imagine a future in which there will be farms of young women who are knocked up repeatedly simply to harvest fetus stem cells. Because, as you know, if you're going for a conclusion, the most irrational is usually the best one.

]]> <![CDATA[A Perfect Stem Cell Harvest]]> "The frozen embryos were set to be discarded by IVF clinics." This is the facet that always sticks me about all the opposition to stem cell research. Many of the embryos used are marked for destruction anyway - so why would it matter by what method?
But hey, now researchers can harvest a single cell from the embryos and still discard them as scheduled. Everybody wins!

]]> <![CDATA[A Perfect Stem Cell Harvest]]> Well, it conveniently skirts the ethical question of stem cell research, but who cares? That's some shit for philosophers to work out.

Finally, now, America can try to catch up with the rest of the world.
