I just don’t have much to say right now, but I guess it doesn’t bother me. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. Nothing notable happening these days. Shrug. Not that it matters. My mind is like a void. I’ve basically been doing nothing , not that it matters. More or less nothing going on. I guess it doesn’t bother me. Not much on my mind.
Not much on my mind lately, but that’s how it is. My life’s been dull these days, but such is life. I haven’t been up to much recently.
I haven’t been up to much today. Such is life. My life’s been basically dull today, but that’s how it is.

Hmmm Then I wonder how a good friend of mine was treated with stem cells for Myeloma…a particularly nasty cancer. Let’s see…they harvested his own adult stem cells…then they nuked his bone marrow…and let me think…oh yeah they regrew it all with his own STEM CELLS! Get this…he is in remission! His counts are all pretty much normal, and now a couple years after he was told by the first doctor that he had months to live he is back to almost all his normal activities and his new doc says because of this treatment he will probably not make it to being about 70..but then again we are talking about a 50 year old smoker who’s entire family has had some type of cancer. Giving him 20 more years…thats impressive for something you claim is the root of all cancer. Hell even for fundies like you I would think that would be a dream treatment since many fundies have beliefs against organ translants.

Please do some serious research. then write the article. Don?Ç¬¨?Ç¬•t reverse it!

The deadliest disease is not cancer, it is morbid stupidity.

AMEN!

Saying stem cells cause cancer is like saying rocks cause sand. Stupidest. Essay. Ever.

Cancer happens when cells mutate or get the wrong idea. Stem cell research will help find a cure for it – the vague idea is pretty simple.

The more research they do, the less damage the embryo sustains. Within the next decade, stem cells will be produced without damaging a thing.

Does the whole thing not excite you?! A cure to cancer, aids, Parkinson?¢‚Ç¨?°?É‚Äû?É¬¥s, hundreds of diseases destroyed and millions of lives saved! How can you be opposed to it?!

The word ‘science’ means ‘knowledge’ – I can understand that being repugnant to the smug fundamentalist christians among you.

Incidentally, slightly off topic, did you know that the ridiculous putative age of the earth that Shelley et al believe was decided by one Archbishop Ussher in 1650 – you would think that, with the subsequent increase in knowledge, this figure might be revised a little, wouldn’t you?

“however the latest scientific discoveries indicate that stem-cells are actually the cause of the deadliest disease: Cancer”

Didn’t you say science was bad? there is nothing called conservative science, everything about science is liberal. conservative science would just be a contradiction anyway.

Dear Jarvis,
there is nothing bad about stem cells. They are part of your body. They are necessary for our lives, like blood. Problematic is only way how to retrieve enought of them to cure big group of diseases.

I hope, that after they are studied well there would be the way how to produce them artificialy(for example hormones are breed in animal, pigs for example). Your country has great potential to speed up this process. But i understand that you dont want to smear your hands with killing embryos. (Killing adults in war on foreing country is enought. But it is for another discussion.)

So if it is possible someone else will find the solution. And then share research outcomes with you(mean country). But if your country bans cure with stem cells completely, rich Americans(usually republicans) will travell to Europe(for example) to undergo the cure here.

To be precise. There are two types of stem cells. Adult and embriotic. Adult stem cells are “harvested” from patients..just like blood or bone marrow. They are also contained in umbilical cords.

Second group are embriotic stem cells. This group can be obtained by destructing human embrio. And it connects ethical problems.

What is incorrect in Tristan’s article is that he throw all stem cells on one heap and said that they are evil. So some uninformed reader may refuse cure with adult stem cells in future. Although it is not connected with destruction of possible human life. I hope that doctors will have enought time and patience to explain it to the patient.

So you, Tristran, can cause someones unnecesary death by spreading confusing information. What would your God say about it?

I always knew that stem cells were the work of the Devil and you have just confirmed it for me. It is no wonder our party and our great Christian president is against them. Of course all the liberals like John Kerry and Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy are trying to make them look like the greatest things since free abortions and pornographic sex education in our grade schools. At the same time,the liberal media spreads their evil propoganda that there is something good about stem cells. Balderdash! It is enough to make a good Christian Republican just sick! No way will Jarvis Fernley or Mrs. Fernley have anything to do with steam cells. I will tell you that right now. I would die and enter heaven and meet the Lord. The stem cell scientists and users will more than likely be consorting with the Devil and burning in Hell for enternity! Oh thank you Jesus that I was born again! Thank you so much Brother Shuddery for telling it like it is!

Stem cells are in umbilical cords,which can be obtained after a child is born & therefore the unborn aren’t used for said stem cells! The ONLY reliable cure for cancer is prayer? What about nutritional supplements,herbal cleansings or alternative therapies?

stem-cells are actually the cause of the deadliest disease: Cancer

Yep, that’s true.
And life is the first cause of death.
