Whilst the article does mention these things in one form or another it really does need to be succinctly in this location as well Many readers will come to this page read the headings and skip straight to the contraversy section Without differentiating in a small way my two points we risk the reader coming away with a very biased view of stem cell research as a whole It is a defect of this article that it talks too much about cures which indeed gives a biased view The controversy section is best kept short as there is a main article I agree the Controversy section is best kept short not incorrectly biased and lacking information as it currently stands The controversy is that some people think that it is immoral to use cells from embryos that will be put in the trashcan otherwise That is all there is to it Your anaolgy is about as crass as saying oh look there s a dead body there lets use it for fertilizer after all its dead Whilst you might not agree with that analogy it is roughly how many people would view your point Your opinion whilst well informed isn t any more right then someone else who adheres to a different belief system And thank you for clarrifying that it is indeed a contraversial issue As a side note some people covers a large portion of the people on this planet No because those embryos really do end in trash cans whatever the whish of the family be This is the general rule whereas found bodies end up in the morgue then are incinerated if not claimed And the ashes are indeed used as fertiliser in this case It might seem crass to say so but it is still the truth Stem cell research should be legalized everywhere What would happen to people if they had any of their body part burned or worse Stem cell research could help grow a new one based on the persons DNA et all and reattach back to the body The wouldn t reject it because it wo nt be foreign to it Replace the whole page Considering how badly written this article is I suggest we simply copy the entire article from to here Preceding unsigned comment added by 192 195 219 165 I don t think we can AFAIK the Creative Commons share alike licenses are not compatible with the GFDL h2g2bob talk hmm for some reason why are people for and agasit stem cell research it confuses me what benifits are there and are there any downsides Key stem cell research events I would like to add the following information to the key stem cell research events section January 2008 Publication of the Neural Colony Forming Cell NCFC Assay as a simple assay to enumerate neural stem cells Importantly the assay allows discrimination between neural stem cells and neural progenitor cells I do nt consider the March 2008 key event to be so notable given that it was only shown in one individual and has not been replicated since March 2008 The first published study of successful cartilage regeneration in the human knee using autologous adult mesenchymal stem cells is published by Clinicians from Regenerative Sciences 52 Added EL I ve added an EL Ethics of Stem Cell Research As it s from the well known Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy there shouldn t be any problems with this addition HI this is WRONG 23 January 2009 Under the new President Barack Obama the restrictions placed on federal funding of Stem Cell research in t
