SG Firm Abandons Plans for Stem Cell Therapies.
-
Interesting news you won't get to read from Straits Times.
-
foetal stem cell researches have yielded nothing so far.
don't waste time and money. -
This is equivalent to the government spending money to rename a place, then finally decides that the old name better suits the place.

Where stem cells are harvested from the embryo and foetus, an existing early human life will have to be sacrificed.
Even if embryonic and foetal stem cells were to prove safe and effective in the future, the fact remains that they can only be harvested at the cost of destroying a human life.
It is no no to embryo and foetal stem cells research.
If there is ever an extention of a human life because of this therapy, I will spit on his grave when he eventually dies.
A cure from such a therapy can never be morally acceptable.
There should not be a research in the first place. -
It is poor foresight coupled with overwhelming over-confidence essentially unsupported by implementation excellence which led to EDB philip Yeo throwing so many millions on big projects like biomedical without getting any corresponding returns or breakthrough.Originally posted by Mat Toro:foetal stem cell researches have yielded nothing so far.
don't waste time and money.
At the end when big buck projects using people's monies to glorify their own name did not achieve results the leaders can easily call it "honest mistake" and "move on" because it is people's and not their own monies.
Which big plans since 1970s have been successful ? Please read the "growth triangle", "swiss standard of living" "UNSW""Micropolis""CSM" "entering the world cup in football" etc reflecting their lack of foresight, poor planning, over-confidence which are not truthfully revealed to the people by their controlled media. -
Time and money already wasted but that's OK. We are already used to losing millions here and billions there.Originally posted by Mat Toro:foetal stem cell researches have yielded nothing so far.
don't waste time and money.
It's a question of morals and ethics that embryonic/foetal stem cell research should not be carry out at all. -
You shld not look at it as money wasted but experience gained.Originally posted by googoomuck:Time and money already wasted but that's OK. We are already used to losing millions here and billions there.

Embryonic stem cells are hopeless, non embryonic stem cells on the other hand has shown much hope. The people who push for embryonic stem cell research are the very same immoral people who support abortion. So the agenda is clearly not to save anyone but to forward teh liberal agenda. -
I'm speechless. The government and whoever is part of this whole thing has got no passion in what they do.
To those who quit, this applies to you. I have nastier things to say, but I will reserve it.
To those who didn't quit, my kudos to you.

Please! ppl of this forum, don't shoot for the sake of shooting.
Firstly, there is no such thing is foetal reaseach.
Secondly, embryonic research is ban all over the world.
Thridly, only thaureputic stem cell research is carried out.
Don't know what thaureputic stem cell mean? go find out. -
Embryonic stem cells do come from foetuses.
Firstly, there is no such thing is foetal reaseach.
No sir, it is not banned all over the world, not even in the US.

I think you do not know the issue at all.
How do you know what is and isn't useful or therapeutic if there is no research?

you need to read up more. they don't conduct research by trail and error and try everythign hoping somethign works.Originally posted by Mat Toro:How do you know what is and isn't useful or therapeutic if there is no research?
and stem cell do not only come from feotus, stem cells have been known to be able to be harvest from hair follicles and even fats. it need not be always from killing of life.

Mat Toro, research before you post.
From NIH:What are embryonic stem cells?
http://stemcells.nih.gov/info/basics/basics3.asp
A. What stages of early embryonic development are important for generating embryonic stem cells?
Embryonic stem cells, as their name suggests, are derived from embryos. Specifically, embryonic stem cells are derived from embryos that develop from eggs that have been fertilized in vitro—in an in vitro fertilization clinic—and then donated for research purposes with informed consent of the donors. They are not derived from eggs fertilized in a woman's body. The embryos from which human embryonic stem cells are derived are typically four or five days old and are a hollow microscopic ball of cells called the blastocyst. The blastocyst includes three structures: the trophoblast, which is the layer of cells that surrounds the blastocyst; the blastocoel, which is the hollow cavity inside the blastocyst; and the inner cell mass, which is a group of approximately 30 cells at one end of the blastocoel. -
I am correct, it does come from foetuses.
as we have seen above, it is clearly non productive and do not provide any medical cures. Thats why the govt gave up after spending so much money. Wise move. -
Once a tadpole poke the egg, whether it takes place in beakers or test tubes, the egg becomes an embryo. A human life in itÂ’s earliest stage is formed, for when the embryo is put back into a female adult human body, it will develop into a foetus.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:
Taking something out of the embryo and then discarding it tantamounts to murder.
That's why embryonic/foetal stem cell reseach is controversial. -
not only controversial in that respect but as it turned out, a total waste of money.

No embryonic stem cells do not come from foetuses. There is no need to carry out feotuses or embryonic research.
Also, there are other methods withouy using foetuses or embryo. Embryo method is at least ten years old and outdated.

Yes, embryonic stem is ban in the US. Get your fact right

It seems like you are clueless on this issue like most folks.
I know my facts, you clearly don't.

Federal funds are not allowed for embryonic stem cell research but embryonic stem cell research itself is not banned in the US you dummy.
You get your facts right please.
Maybe you can tell me what is your definition then. Let me see if you make sense.
